Why say "non linear" and "seismic" when you mean "logarithmic?"

Eschew obfuscation.

In this era of college basketball free agency, if player A is twice as good as player B, player A is probably worth 4 (or more) times as much, because the number of teams wanting player A is much greater. Plus, when you only can have five players on the floor, the Delta in likely wins between the two is greater.

Without a salary cap, the upper limit on spending is whatever the buyer will pay.  Some wealthy people are willing to spend a lot of money to help their team, with or without personal gain.

Using baseball as a metaphor, Ohtani is worth $50 million plus, because he's a top10 hitter and a top10 pitcher and only takes one roster spot, even though Judge will probably hit better overall. Some argue $50 million might be too low.  But with a salary cap, Ohtani can't make what he's truly worth, since they need to put 25 other guys out there.

There is no salary cap restricting Dickinson's earnings. $2 million might seem like a lot, but AW spent way more than that on a car, which won't make him famous like buying Syracuse a championship would.
