The players and their salaries are yearly investments. The best way to maximize the return on that investment is to have a healthy team playing actual games so that the chance of winning is maximized. Increased winning results in increased ticket/merchandise sales, increased stadium revenue, and increased licensing revenue for the team. This shit ain’t rocket science.

Provide the players with optimal practice facilities to limit injury potential. Having million dollar investments walking across public traffic to practice on a subpar surface with rock piles and dust from the neighboring operation is both cheap and a needless risk on the investment. There’s a reasoon in a league built for parity that Mike Brown has won barely 40% of his games in 30 years. High schools can afford a facility, as can lower tier D-1 programs, but not Mike.
