To this point, that's all you've offered. You're asking the P5 to give up playoff money to the G5.

This is simply not the case and if you can not or refuse to understand the very simple explanation provided then there is no use discussing this further with you. To you, 1+2 < 1. Cannot have a discussion when logic is aborted like that.

Your explanation is simple, all right, simple-minded and badly flawed. The extra games you propose aren't valued as much as the games we currently have, so while yes, overall money goes up, it doesn't necessarily mean it goes up enough to cover the costs of the additional teams participating more in the revenue stream.

And there's every reason to think it wouldn't. Heck, the example you gave to shore up your speculation was the NCAA tournament, and you showed a complete lack of knowledge of how that event has evolved.

So sure, grab your ball, declare a victory nobody but yourself recognizes, and go home, LOL.
