But not sure it is great business the way MB runs it. 

The NE Patriots sold for $175 million in 1994 and are now according to forbes the net worth is 3.4 billion dollars.

Could not find the net worth of the Bengals in 1994 but suspect it was close to the $175 million. Almost late for work so can not investigate. Even if only half it would still prove point. 

The Bengals have a net worth of 905 million which is 48 million less than last year ? 

Winning a SB would certainly increase the value of the team I believe, especially several SB's. 

Playing it safe in the NFL is foolish. You are guaranteed to profit but could hit the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow if a dynasty is formed. 

He should roll the dice. The Patriots are proof. 

You just changed the conversation to reinvestment in people (players) and resources. I agree 100%, a winning team will definitely increase the value of a team/business. However, value (equity) is not cash now, it is huge for loans and investment purposes not only in this business, but possibly others for the bank to approve it, but the only way to get your equity (value) 100% is to sell the asset (team).
