What a sweet deal. Basically these guys got to play businessman for a while and then walk off with nothing lost and experience gained. What are they complaining about again?

Some may argue that the dealers (ie market, location, oversaturation) these minority owners were offered to begin with were losing propositions from the jump and that being offered an early out so they don't impede the profitability of more established non-minority owned dealers is just adding insult to injury. With that being said, even if they all accepted, cutting 81 dealers is probably nowhere near enough and Ford will be trying to shut down non minority owned dealers also.
