@hf101 Thanks for the articles, very interesting. I can't imagine that the league hasn't figured some of this out yet (or hasn't appeared to). I can certainly understand both the league and the players not wanting contraction but let's get real, some of these teams will never make any money and the enitre league is suffering from it. We tried it, it failed, let's fix it and move on. After that they can look at things a little more realistically. Parity is a great thing but means nothing when there is no season.
