Wow. Hard to believe that she would turn down that kind of money. I understand she may be reluctant to sign away the rights to the song, but $1 million bucks and $500 per game is nothing to sneeze at. That would provide her with around $50,000 per year income one would think - roughly 100 games per season broadcast Canada wide? Maybe more if each regional broadcast also uses the tune.
It's not like there are a lot of other bidders out there wanting the song.
