If you add large amounts of money to the prize pool, you will attract better runners. I would not think that would be disputed.
Like whom and what about my point about paying out more money for coming 10th?
The money would be better spent on developing the sport and making it more attractive to kids. What about youth academies as in soccer, or mentoring coaches who may not be primarily focused on t&f.
