I bet people would be blown away how much he controls. It shocks me every time I hear about it because it almost doesn’t even sound real. But one thing is consistent- every single person (many) over the years has said the exact same thing.
There’s absolutely no chance Conroy has much latitude to just “do what he thinks is best”. None.

Edwards is the chairman of that company, not the majority owner. He keeps being re-elected chairman of the board because the shareholders like the return he gets them for their money, and he can micromanage it because he knows the business.
I think he's intelligent enough to know that he has neither the time nor the skills to micromanage the sports business, which, from his point of view, is pretty much a hobby. I also don't believe that the other owners, who could easily vote him out of the governor's chair, would let an outsider to the business micromanage it instead of letting their hired managers do their jobs.
