The more that they regulate this series the closer they will become to being Elite. That in itself will cause many problems and negative attitudes towards these guys/BASS. They want to be untouchable? Well let them be. The fans make this sport always have and always will.
I love to fish for bass and at one time when I was younger I dreamed of doing that for a living but not anymore. Especially now with the cost of gas and equipment. I can see a potential decline in interest with these pro tournaments because of this. JMO
