Well...technically they do get to share in the absurd franchise valuation, because the extra revenue that drive those valuations comes out of the increased share of taxpayer/fans wallets that are captured.

Tickets will cost more, food will cost more, more corporate boxes will be a new revenue stream kinda, and the share of all the non-flames events they negotiated will also be a new revenue stream...
