Even with say a 70 game season. That is 360 games missed of revenue.

Back to backs should be eliminated completely. But unless someone on either side is willing to give up money, we will not see a shortened season.

And I have come full circle on the issue. I used to not have an issue with player rest. But as more and more studies show it does not help, and it has become so prevalent I see it as an issue.
Perhaps the league's #1 issue.
There was a time, a fair amount of years ago, that I could, and did, play full court basketball for several hours a day. Almost every day.

These guys are professional athletes, theoretically in exceptional physical condition..yet they can't play 30 minutes worth of game clock? Seriously?
