Even if revenue stays absolutely flat, the cap is due to increase by about 20% once the escrow debt is fully repaid. As I understand it, the plan is to raise the cap by 5% per year until it catches up with the 50/50 revenue split.
Even if HRR went
down by 10% league-wide, we'd be looking at about a $92 million cap for 2025-26. I don't think we're likely to see a bigger decline than that in the short term.
