It's also short-sighted.
The concept of playoff creep is very real. The NCAA Basketball tournament started with 8 teams.
A 4 team playoff is better than what we have now. An 8 team playoff I'd strongly argue isn't, but I can see the other side. But a 16 team playoff is clearly worse at determining the best team. At the end of the day it might be a lot of fun, but we all talk and act like the team to win the playoffs is always the best team so that's still the primary goal of the system, IMO.
Like you said, it's all about the money and the playoff creep will happen because of that. Going to 4 team playoff could easily spill into a 16 team playoff and I'd much, much rather keep what we have now than that.
