Gayle Benson’s true motive

Just something I’ve been thinking about lately. Would love to hear what y’all think about it.
Tom and Gayle are both New Orleans natives. Presumably/hopefully they both have/had an affinity to their hometown and its people.
We know that Gayle has assigned Dennis Lauscha to find the next owner upon her passing. She’s not handing it down to relatives or friends or anyone.
So what I find interesting is what are Gayle’s relatively short term goals for the Saints and the Pelicans?
These teams are investments for the super rich. Does she want to maximize profit in the short term? Is there any love for the city or legacy establishment in play?

I think this question is stupid.

I don’t think she considers the rest of her life “the short term”

Not sure you really follow either team if you have to ask what the goals are. She clearly is making available whatever resources are needed to both franchises so win. Which obviously would mean she isn’t cutting corners to max out profits.

I've been told...and you take this for as much as you think its worth. Both teams will compete while remaining "self-sustaining".
Essentially, she ain't dumping no more coin in than it self generates.

She has enough money to live lavishly without profiting from either team and those teams provide more than enough to cover the salary cap, top tier coaches and executive staff.
As for the succession plan, she has one and it’s for the teams to remain in New Orleans. If she had her way, the NFL doesn’t allow it, the teams would be left to the archdiocese with lauscher and or a selected group to manage them.
She has nothing to gain from profiting on a sale. She doesn’t need the money a sale would generate.

Tom was from San Antonio not New Orleans.

I think actions speak louder than rando fans meandering queries.

What has she done to make you doubt?

After Gayle it will be an ownership group that includes Lauscha.

She wants the team's to win so she can throw big parties and enjoy her investment!

She’s waiting to sell to the Mannings, where in 2027 they’ll draft Arch.

I think you need a hobby in the off season.

From everything I've heard from anyone close to Gayle and her team, she wants both franchises to succeed on the field and on the court. I believe that's the reality.

She very publicly stated that her trust ensures an owner will be found and keep the teams here for a long time. She very easily could have said nothing or given the teams to her awful step kids. I don’t really see what anyone is bitching about.
