But one thing I don't agree is on the transfer market.
With Ambani-Adani (if he has IPL team) or in future, whichever biz person has good relations with the govt and has money, then it's just a throw in to an uneven system.
You might say the EPL and other football leagues do it, but there, the govt doesn't have relationships with these biz persons.
Ours has, and it will only make it more of a government backed sport than a privatized sport.
It’s an interesting point and while I hadn’t thought of government relationships and impacts.
But even in EPL, Manchester City have been fighting 100+ financial breaches. So I think where there is massive money, there will always be corruption. I don’t know of a sports body in the world that is devoid of that.
So creating a good structure is baseline, after that there still needs to be governance to ensure rules are being followed.
Wonderful article. Simple yet effective.

Thank you for the kind words!
