Why would the A-league 10 want pro / rel ?

For all the hoopla regards the splitting off of the A-League as a separate entity (if I have that right) could someone please explain to me;

(a) why the current 10 teams would want pro / rel.  (What's in it for them?) 
(b) why they'd want expansion, particularly if they're within their 'footprint' and 
(c) where do they think the money is going to come from?  (remembering that some of the TV money has to fund a second division.) 

Not trolling, genuinely interested, because my preferred model is to set up a second division with a view to pro /rel in the future.

It would be to stop league stagnation without the onus being on the clubs to stop stagnation from their end by buying expensive marquee players and marketing their games or adding to the total number of clubs in the competition and thus lowering their TV monies the clubs individually receives


Exactly

Star Wars doesn't work
Corner Music doesn't work
Timmy (and now Honda is just about to once and for all) proved that Marquees don't work

Good Marketing can sell a shit product Once

Time to bring out a new Product, not a new Logo
