As one of only two GM's that held fast against the cascade of anti-WB sentiment last month, (Detroit being the other), I could support this latest proposal. I can support it even more so since the fact that WB eliminated $450 Million out of the file in 2049. That fact cannot be overemphasized.
Further, I would not oppose a slight increase in the cost of a WB slot from the present $10m each to _______________(throw out a figure)
Even further, to aid smaller market teams handle the suggestion above, we could experiment with a minor increase in revenue sharing.
One last suggestion: Why couldn't the 3 or 4 teams with the worst won-loss records of the preceding season be able to send a 4th spec to WB, ESPECIALLY with predicteds gone, if they can afford it?
Not married to any of these suggestions, just throwing 'em out there. My primary motive for saving WB in some form is to regulate the league's excess cash.
