Definitely forward your memo to all the major sports leagues who are looking to put product out there.

Artistic failure? They are doing what every single business should be doing. Coming up with the best business plan given the circumstances. I see no way that sitting out the next year helps you get a better TV deal next time and you lose hundreds of millions in the interim.
