Agree, except on one point. I would say, "The more teams in the playoffs, the less meaningful the regular season becomes." See if this sounds theoretical: If half of the teams make the playoffs, on average all that a particular team needs to aspire to is a .500 record; i.e., mediocrity. Utterly boring. Why watch or attend a regular season game? Wait for the playoffs.
