Longer Season.. what does it offer other than more revenue?

It's going to happen. The league owners just incorporated several safety rule changes in their meetings, and they are pushing for more generated revenues (tickets, media contracts, etc. ) to help cover player's increasing salaries. Their concerns are business ended, and they view the players as conpensated well enough to justify longer seasons. If the players are to get paid then they have to produce.
