Does anyone recall the structure of the SUM partnership? Perhaps my recollection is wrong but I seem to recall the Krafts chose not to invest in it.

Anyone know if the Krafts ultimately joined?

Any thoughts on the relationship between the success of SUM (and or lack there of) and the long term success of the league? Are they related?

If related is the Krafts decision not to join SUM indicative of their confidence level in the long term success of the league and or real committment to the team and league?

Appreciate any thoughts /assessment from some one with some more perspective or theory on this.

They do have a stake in SUM. The issue was raised in a thread about KC's new owners.
