was i complaining? (very unlike me!)

don't ask me to do the maths but if the top players are only being available to the minority i was merely suggesting that an increase in money flow throughout the BB world 'could' alter player prices for the better via getting back to a training for profit vs training to keep.

If only 500 teams can afford the player in question sure its nice and easy. If the economics of the game expand so that 5000 can compete for the same player the bands would widen and allow for different types of players to perhaps command different valuations than we are seeing today.

Many division 1 teams have settled rosters so i am suggesting that a lot of players arent changing hands as the player prices have stagnated to the stage that depending on what time of day you go shopping you can pick up players significantly better than others for the same price.

If transfers went back to $1k - $10mil as opposed to $1k to 5mil then i believe that prices will be more consistent.

Maybe im not conveying what i want to say across correctly but i know that selling then buying is all relative, i just believe expanding the market of buyers WOULD gradually change this.

Okay, so how do you propose expanding this base? The only way to do so is to give more money to the 4500 other teams (dII?), while keeping the streams for the original 500 and everyone else below the top 5k static.

Any increases provided across the board will result in no competitive change, but higher purchase/sale prices. That's a great idea if the goal is to increase the amount of money agents get. Otherwise it serves almost no purpose.

I honestly think that just an increase of money would change the dynamics of the market.

More money won't just create the same rational relative decision making. Maybe i'm just crazy.
