It's nice being a team in a pbp and some people may never experience that if they don't make a finals. If you make it paid the arguments against it are gone and it's just another version of entertaining paid media for people to enjoy. Pbps used to be the lifeblood of the site and are great ways for teams to get excited and bond, at least make one per playoff round so even if you get knocked in the first everyone gets to experience it. Whoever made it tpe based in the first place is what screwed it up, no one complained when it was paid. If you find it boring just don't fucking watch, right. If people find it exciting then they benefit. No cons, literally all pros

The things is.. we are probably recruiting the best play by play talent under the current incentives. With that we do get some pretty good games in the mix. If we lower it from tpe to money then we’re going to to get the ‘B’ talent for play by plays and that’s proven in the past to be unpalatable.

Why not survey the A talent on what money would make them consider it. Just throwing out suggestions seems like there may be a compromise. eliminating them is a hard no, and you have the side who has a fair point on tpe being sorta unfair, so I think there is a middle somewhere here. We all know 3 is way below reasonable considering how many dropped out at that amount.


And honestly I find the argument against tpe so entertaining considering the amount of tpe inflation already going on. Make it capped season tpe so people can choose between pts and a pbp. Problem solved like was that so hard.
