Organization
Each team is owned independently and purchases player contracts, secures stadium use, and manages television and radio contracts for its own team. There are 24 minor league teams, each affiliated with a major league team, that the AIBL team can use to store developing talent. This prevents teams from crowding their rosters with less-deserving players for fear of another team snatching them before the talent is developed.
