In the case of insurance, the money goes into the pockets of the insurance companies.
In the case of the Bengals, it goes right back into the pockets of the Bengals organization but still never spent.
Maybe a better example is throwing money into some kind of fund like a health savings account. It's there for when you need it. But if it's never deemed as "needed", you don't typically pull it out. You just carry it over to the next year just in case it's needed then.
I understand now.
