Also it costs much less to run a basketball organization compared to a football team. A football team has close to 30 guys who start every night, backups and a practice roster. There's a coach for pretty much every position. Due to the rough nature of the sport there's a rediculous amount of doctors employed by a football team as well. Equipment costs are a load more than basketball. Each one of those helmets costs close to US$500 when it's all said and done. Basketball teams have maybe 12 regular roster players with 7 of them making chump change relatively speaking and a taxi squad of a few players that really don't make any money either.
