They certainly have the network and media outlet to give sponsors a good ROI.
The reason for them not being allowed to enter is that the SA-AC Forum had not been "friendly to Alinghi over the past six years".
Unfortunatly the AC seems to be reduced to a poorly written soap opera.

I really believe they just want you to believe they might have been serious to make the story just a little more dramatic. I equate them to bunch of drunk sailors sitting at a bar going "hell yeah we could!". It did point out the glaring lack of qualifications required of the teams that are competing with regard to entry fee and/or requirements though.
