Our world is evolving, maybe devolving to world where everything has to be like a March Madness type thing. The more the playoff teams the better. It is sad when you have teams in the NBA and NHL that are barely over .500 making the playoffs. Is a .500 team a playoff team? Or take the college bowls? Is a bowl game special when you have a 5-8 team in it? Do we root for the underdog because you better odds in Vegas/bookie? A team that pushes through and wins 65%+ of their games should be rewarded and a team that can barely win 50% should not be. The more teams the more chances of a lesser team that was not built for the long haul to win.
Yes, it is about money. The more cities, the more games the more TV ratings (since sporting events do well in this DVR/VOD world with commercials income, no one wants to watch a taped Super Bowl), the more fannies in the seat. In OOTP none of that matters! To me, less is indeed more!
