Because it gives decent funding to the top 4 for reaching the 8s. At a guess (no disrespect), but fax and possibly fev don't particularly want or expect SL this time around, but the funding allows them to grow the club and in time put them in a position to fancy the top table again.
SL teams can see the champ getting stronger, and putting a threat on their cosy little number - so the simple answer is to pull the funding away, which as I understand it is what the intention is.
