A little odd, perhaps, yes. But its not intended to be conventional, the idea is to sorta defy convention. The game will obviously change and they'll be necessary adaptations that need to be made in order to be a successful owner in the league.
It'll be an experiment and I think it will be interesting to see the progression. And while it might be amusing, remember, they used to laugh at Arena Football and now, owners are buying in.

Who knows where this can go..
