Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 5292263, member: 488"] Sadly, abandoning moderation and balance was a precondition for creating super-conferences. They didn't go through all the trouble of purging the sport's biggest brands and syphering them into two leagues just to let everyone else take 75% of the playoff bids. It's eventually going to be just like the NFL - two conferences of 16 or so teams competing for five or six playoff spots each, and everyone else just hoping they can catch lightning in a bottle for long enough to get called up to the majors. While I'm sure it'll make for a nice cash influx in the short-term, it puts the wheels in motion to kill the sport over the long haul. And frankly, I'm not sure they care. Their job is to grow revenue for their leagues now and let someone else clean up the mess later. We've passed the point of no return here with the tail wagging the dog. [/QUOTE]
