I really just don't see them liking any new team showing up. They will nitpick reasons to object.
According to the linked article, it seems that "within the current $200M anti-dissolution fee" is a lot of the problem as both FOM and the teams believe that the sport is worth much more than that now and $500-$600 mill would be more appropriate.

May simply be a question of negotiation but clearly it would make a significant difference to Andretti's budget.
