They should look at how the PGA tour operates. There is a few smaller circuts below the PGA but you have to earn a card to play on tour and keep it or you are right back in the Nationwide tour. Paying your way into the Elite series is a joke to me. Most guys don't have that kind of money to fish a series that big. I love the Elite series and how it is set up but don't some of you agree you should have to earn your way into the series instead of buying a ticket? It could all go back to sponsors as well. The PGA has ALOT of involvment in sponsors with DEEP pockets but then again ESPN has a VERY DEEP pocket and they own BASS. I also agree that there are way too many circuts and divisions.
