And yet, all other teams are doing similar and bringing in at least double the amount (except the Senators). Why is that?
I don't know. I assume they will provide some response to the above. I am sure, they can improve the efficiencies and, if the report is based on the accurate data, the owners themselves will be very disappointed and some heads at the Foundation will roll, no doubt. I was primarily disgusted by the posts that immediately imply fraud and render everyone guilty of treason...

P.S. I can speak from personal experience being a committee member for two fundraising golf tournaments. They ARE very expensive. The "net net" after all costs paid was in that 20% range in both cases. And reducing expenses, did not necessarily translate to more outcome. The lesser the quality of an event, the lesser the interest in participating from sponsors.
