I think we should remember that at the beginning it was the ACU, not the Isle of Man which initiated, ran and developed the TT races. They had a different set of values and priorities then. The trophies which were given by people like the Marquis de whateveritwas...can never spell it...to the ACU. So, they do belong to them. However, they are so arrogant and unpleasant about it now, and there is no excuse for that, as they are supposed to be a representative and regulatory body for the sport, not a private club. A bit of accountability would be nice.
