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

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.

it also hasn’t been talked about much if at all but there’s been major staff upgrades and new positions created lately

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