In a nutshell, Rebates are good, most people are clueless about takeout, betting is complicated, we need more races on tv, social networks are a way to attract fans, owners are screwed, free games for the idiots who cant figure out how to make a bet, "best" practices (whatever those are?), safety improvements and new ownership "tools".

Not a single actual mention of a coordinated plan or how to make industry "partners" work together. Nothing specific about anything really. Hopefully the actual report will be a lot more detailed and the premises that they use aren't as flawed as some of the things presented.
