Burning gear could just be a few people. What would show the trends would be an analysis of betting on games, gear sales, attendance, and ticket resale prices. All this information should be available somewhere, and would should in detail what the trend is year-over-year, and week-to-week. There should be analysis of each team to show how this affects top, middle, and bottom ranked teams.

So far there's just been scattered reports all these areas are down. Proper data analysis would show the real trends.
