Here's a stat that surprises people: only about 2% of high school athletes get a Division I scholarship. I'd argue that if you eliminate tryouts and cuts, you create a pooling equilibrium where effort and skill earn the same playing time as coasting. A rational player then reduces practice, because the payoff for extra work drops. The result isn't inclusivity; it's lower average skill and fewer serious players. Keep recreational leagues open to everyone, but let competitive tiers exist. That's the better equilibrium for both groups.
