With all of this inflation, why have cash prizes remained the same? (For example, Jeopardy always has the minimum of $200 per clue; why does that never go up?)

It’s been a while, but jeopardy has gone up over the years from a max double jeopardy clue value of 100, to $250, then $1000, and now $2000, though it’s been stuck there for over twenty years. Of course, inflation was pretty low for most of that time, and the main point is not to index to inflation, but to find the minimum needed to attract clever, telegenic contestants and keep the audience engaged.
