I'm currently conducting an experiment on PRMs. It'll take me a season to have some tangible results. Basically I'm keeping track of my economic situation each week (attendance & merchandising). For now my PRM is a lvl 2 with National Appeal spec. I plan on buying a lvl 4 same spec. in 3 weeks (so I'll have 6 weeks of records for each PRM). I guess I'll also have to take into account my results throughout the season (such as TV games, rivalry games, W/L etc...). I hope it'll shed some light on the matter of direct influence of PRMs on merch.

PS : the big bang theory is one of many scientific theories that tries to explain what happened just after time 0, it's impossible to determine what happened precisely at time 0... So god is not a stupid explanation, it's possible. It depends on how you define god.

An experiment is performed to test a hypothesis. Without one, that would only make this an exercise or demonstration. A study of this subject would need to include the testing of hypothesis using multiple test subjects and a control group over longer sample periods.

Religious and esoteric questions are non-scientific. Lets please kill this before they come to us with straight jackets

The hypothesis is indeed that PRMs manager have a direct impact on merch. I guess you're right for the second part, though I believe a season is the ideal sample period because the core players are the same throughout the whole season (well kinda), if you added a major player the merchandising could be affected, so a 2 to 3 seasons experiment would be harder to analyse. I concur on the need of multiple subjects, so if anyone is interested in joining the effort...

This is vague, and does not explain why or how you believe there is an impact or particular relationship. Science doesn't begin with random data collection, and I don't think this is a good hypothesis. You are of course, welcome to disagree. I'm just trying to be helpful by pointing out where I think you may want to start. Good luck with your efforts.

First of all sometimes it does. I can't make a better hypothesis because there is no previous studies of any kind. The hypothesis can be wrong it's not really important, what's important is to start experimenting on the matter instead of just debating whether or not it has an impact. It's not that random anyway, when you think about it the game manual suggests that PRMs have indeed a direct impact on merchandising, yet we can't put a figure on it.
Public Relations Managers help market the team to the fans, encouraging more people to show up to games and be willing to pay more for tickets

We know it does affect affluence, but we don't know if it's profitable (is the salary compensated by the extra affluence?). Anyway I was replying just to inform everybody that maybe I'll know a little more about PRMs at the end of the season, maybe not, at least I tried. But I agree with you, the results could be proven totaly irrelevant at the end.
