Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Crooks, I understand that, but again, you keep saying that you were presented with this and you were presented with that. You were an independent board member. There are questions around why you unilaterally went to CSB and didn't allow the deal to be bid, including by those who were doing the contracts in the United States and Mexico. Why would you agree to a 20-year term? Yes, it may have looked like there was an upside of $3 million at the outset, but everybody knew there was not a great upside going forward. The deal has figures where the amounts never go over $4.5 million after 20 years.
For example, if you had negotiated that if we make the Olympics the deal goes up to $8 million, or that if we make the World Cup the deal goes up to $10 million, or that if we host a World Cup it goes up to $15 million, those would be upsides. None of those are there. I think as a smart businesswoman you would have seen that.
My question is this: Did you ask those questions at the time, or did you just rely on this negotiating team and the outside counsel to come forward with a deal that in the end pretty much the universality of people who have looked at it thinks doesn't make any sense?
