I apologize if this is a dumb question, but as I’m not obscenely wealthy, I just don’t understand. If Joe Ricketts and the Ricketts Family are billionaires, why not pay cash for the Cubs, especially since they *only* sold for $800+mm, and avoid all the debt? It seems like given their other investments, stake in…

The A10 has been getting fucking hosed in non-conference play by the refs
