Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 5157180, member: 55"] I agree that my take is simplistic. Math is often simplistic. I don't doubt others take the view that the Athletic does. I just doubt that many others sportswriters even care as much about whether what they're writing makes mathematical sense than the Athletic does. But numbers don't lie. Unless someone is going to show that teams are carrying fewer scholarship players than they used to because of the portal, only increasing the playing life of existing players changes things. There is a glaring and obvious fact that explains longer average playing lives. If, when COVID is done, someone shows me others, so be it. [/QUOTE]
