WSOP buy-in too small?

If the field gets up to 5,500 or so (which is what I've heard it will be this year) will that be too big? With that many people, the blinds have to go up quicker or you need to lengthen out the tournament. With the tournament already being 5-6 days I dont think you can mke it longer. One solution would be to make the buy-in $25,000. One problem with that is that most people getting into the tournament today are getting in through cheap satellites online. If those tournaments are charging 2,000 people $50 for a satellite buy-in now and the cost of a WSOP entry went up to $25,000 then these $50 satellites could have 5,000 entries but still have a $50 buy-in to play one. So this might not lower the number of people entering the tournament.
