It's a better alternative to shutting down. Admittedly, neither is very attractive, but if they shut down, I'm guessing some genius in state government will be looking at some of those performance metrics that Bruno had placed in the franchise extension, and then try to take the franchise from NYRA. And the litigation that will follow would last forever.
