I posted in another thread a few minutes ago:

Those HOF/Otherwise super-elite teams are as inspiring as they are because of a very small number of very dedicated mentors.

If a change makes those mentors want to leave, its bad. Losing those mentors, would in turn make those HOF/Otherwise super-elite teams less inspiring.

If those teams are less inspiring, does allowing 4000 more students see the husk of their former inspiration achieve more than letting fewer see them be their best?
