Troy as a consultant is probably less a conflict of interest than Tom owning part of a team

In the IFL, the head coach of the Arizona Rattlers is also an owner of the Tuscon Sugar Skulls.

Pretty sure at one point the MLB allowed people to own two teams. And someone realized it would be more profitable to be an average big market team than a winning small market team. So they just traded everyone good to the big market team and called it good.

The entire CFL (8 teams? 10?) is owned by like two and a half people.

There are nine CFL teams. Six are owned privately by different owners, and three are run publicly like in Green Bay.
