I think that there's not enough coaching going on in the BC and too much coaching going on outside of the BC. This leads to fewer beginners making it to stakes with lots of rake, which causes FTR to miss out on wtfpwning in the rakeback offers department. This in turn leads to fewer beginners sticking around on FTR in the long-term because they suck at poker and don't want to spend forever playing something they suck at, which also leads to a lower income for FTR.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
