Too many tournaments at once?

[Kyo Souma II]

Does anyone think the glut of tournaments will ease in the next year or two? Let's take a look at the middle of november as an example.

WSOP TOC 11/6-11/8
Poker Superstars III 11/9-11/16
Foxwoods ME 11/13-11/18
UPC 11/16-11/28
WSOP Circuit ME Ballys LV 11/19-11/22
Monte Carlo Millions 11/20-11/23

Why did we need a wsop bally's event?
How the hell does the UPC recoup its production costs?

I'm waiting for public access to carry some poker..
