The type of money individuals like those two (P.B.U.T.) could bring to bear despite recent downturns, with little (any?) consideration to long-term profitability would be the only thing that could significantly change the landscape. THey would be...as the kids say these days, a "game changer."
Now whether or not they are interested in doing so? Who knows.

I know for a fact that one of the individuals you mentioned had considered the idea a few years ago with the idea of having the race after the Derby be held at Hollywood. How serious a consideration, I couldn't say.
