Here’s my take. People don’t wanna throw good money after bad that’s why basketball has cash right now.

Wrong. It's all about the money coming in now that wasn't before.

Hard to argue against your point, and check where the 2 BYEs are at this season.

Ultimately the coaches. Never leave anything to chance , at home or away.

Wise take.

I think it’s already happening for football and most just don’t recognize it.
