It's not meaningless, just ignored. Most of the articles about this are anti-Bettman, so they slant it like he's a little dictator, forcing his will on the owners, only needs the support of 8 owners to scuttle a deal etc.
It's just assumed that if Bettman is for a deal, that the 75% will be met easily.
