As a recent comment pointed out - the issue isn't solved by dividing the pie, but by increasing the size of it.
These arguments lead to one historically known outcome.

this is relatively vague as if u do read the article, there are more and more adjunct and temp faculty positions at universities, not more tenure-track positions. besides, the pie of r&d grants in term of nih or nsf budgets did not grow much in the past decade. also i dont see there is major possibility for anothe UC system or ivy league to be duplicated in the next decade or so - it takes much longer time to build an oven for a bigger pie.
