You really think Jerry Jones, of all owners, doesn’t have enough pull in that room to get just about everyone to vote in his favor, much less the mere 8 votes he’d actually need for a relocation block?
Oh he might. For purposes of this discussion, we’re all just guessing what would happen forever into the future.
I do think a time could come where variables align in favor of central Texas and it won’t matter what Cowboys’ ownership wants if it’s good for the league.
But forgetting that, Jack made the statement that all markets are accounted for. I disagree. Certainly when looking at this into the future.
Among the 32 largest media markets, Orlando, Portland, Raleigh-Durham, Salt Lake City and San Antonio don’t have NFL teams. (New Orleans is 51st, for context). That isn’t to say any of those places are viable markets now, or ever will be, but the point is there are both large population centers and large media markets that aren’t currently home to an NFL team.
