FORT BENNING, Ga., (May 21, 2014) -- In the years since the National Football League began free agency, it has undergone several changes that has brought about parity in the league.

But, with parity comes disappointment to the teams and fans that were once considered dynasties.

No longer are the days when a fan can name every player on the team and the positions they play.

The scheduling changes have brought about more teams with 8-8 records and higher chances of those teams making the playoffs.

Now, the NFL will consider changing the playoff system by adding two more playoff teams, meaning seven playoff teams per conference.

So, why the change?

Although the thought behind changing the number of teams in the playoff is being pushed off as making the season more competitive due to bad starts by teams and injuries, the bottom line is money.

The changes are expected to increase revenue at stadiums for the new round of wild-card games by an estimated 33 percent - and let's not forget the new broadcast deals that could be struck and packaged with the higher rated division and conference playoff games.

Yes, it might create more excitement for the fans whose teams would fill the new wild-card slots, but make no mistake, it's all about money - not the fans.

Adding two additional playoff games could net between $5-$10 million in stadium seat sales alone, not to mention broadcast rights.

Players included in the newly created playoff games would make more money for their appearance in a playoff game, as well.

But, what is in it for the fans?

Maybe bragging rights that their team made the playoffs, albeit in a watered down, parity driven league?

I believe that before the owners consider expanding the number of playoff teams, they should first tackle the way teams are seeded in the playoffs.

Teams should be seeded by record, rather than where they finish within their respective divisions.

Last year, both NFC wild-card teams finished with better records than two of the other three division leaders, yet they played in the wild-card games.

Season records should mean something when it comes to making the playoffs.

Owners have said adding playoff teams will create a more competitive season, and if that is so, then the same train of thought should apply to the way the teams are seeded in the playoffs.

But in reality, I think it's all about the money.
