NCAA Lost Unanimously

[Some guy]

I actually think the salary cap is a good example of a measure used to (at least in theory) maintain competitive balance that kind of does the opposite.

Bad teams pressed against the salary cap are stuck bad with the exception of throwing games for draft picks. Additionally, in the salary capped sports (basketball and football), they come with extensive revenue sharing so cheap owners can make a lot of money without putting a good product on the field.

Which is partially why we get more diversity of teams playing in the World Series in baseball than we do in the NFL or NBA in their respective championships

Who are you quoting?

That's not a quote anyone actually said.

I sometimes misuse quotation marks to indicate a hypothetical statement/argument that could be made, as a way of making a point in a discussion.

Huh?

Hasn't the NFC sent a different team to the Super Bowl like 15 out of the last 17 or something crazy?

Absolutely and certainly more turnover. You need to, literally, win the lottery to turn around a bad NBA franchise.

The lottery should be abolished, and the draft should follow the protocol of the NFL.
