Like, there will be a League Two team that makes it to the 3rd round only to get annhiliated by Manchester City, but years later the fans will still talk about the time that their local team got to play at the Etihad and laugh about how their 33-year-old slow centre back got roasted by Haaland, who scored 5 before being substituted at half time.

they know but they don't care because this cash grab will happen anyway. I do hope that it eventually turns into "let's run with our youth" and then it would be kind of fun if it were more of an U-23 tournament and teams could sign more players for that and it'd be fun if someone went on a Linsanity-ass run to win a NBA Cup, that would be lore for a team. But nobody cares about the players getting more money.
