But now that they have been convinced (albeit only just), who's going to stop them from trying to make more money. All the BCCI cares about is making money. Even Indian fans know that.Theyd even arrange soccer matches between cricket players if it meant that theyd get a little bit of the money coming their way.

Let me confirm this: BCCI not only knows how to make money, they also taught the ICC how to make money. ICC used to have depleted bank accounts till Dalmiya took over

Money making is not bad. Rather its good for growth prospects of the game.

Now, as far as BCCI making money from 20-20 is concerned, its not a bright money making prospect yet. Less play time, less air time- less money.
