Those collegiate summer teams, by the way, are also privately owned. Or at least, a lot of them are. And while for most owners, they are labors of love, I still don't see them just handing over the keys.
I agree with most of what you said above, but on the PG/PBR....they will be happy to see minors contracted. Parent funded travel ball just got extended a couple more years. It's a gold mine to them. Why not slap a few computers together and call it an on-line University/baseball academy/developmental league? You could even give them student loans....
