The first few cup rounds are games against bot or far inferior team - in most cases. So the point that you have to surrender a league game to stay in the cup does not count for me. Its still hundreds of millions free money for the economy.

On the other hand free agents have significantly improved the player pool. Premium talent stays and thus the team expenditures for salaries have risen. When I was in DIV I a few seasons ago, I was one of the top dogs and still was able to save 150k per week. From what I see now, most teams spend around 800k on their roster and I doubt any of those make a lot of money. I think that outweighs the cup benefits by far - I can't prove it though.

I think there should be a change one way or another, as we don't know the total amount of money in the game and its growth in the last few years, and nobody will tell us anyway I think we can end the discussion.

You are pointing out what happens in your community as it was a common thing.It's rare to have more than a pair of easy matches in the cup,at least in the most competitive countries.If a IV or even a strong V division italian team decides to play the cup seriously,I can't just put the scrubs out there and think to win easily,because even their level is something respectable
You don't have to surrender a championship game to advance in the first rounds of the cup,and you don't even have to think if use scrubs or not.But in a competitive country,that's what you are forced to do

Your spirit to improve the game is good,but your vision is limited and selfish
