So I am always interested in making this league as competitive as possible, with as many teams competing and as few teams in constant rebuilds as possible. To me, there is never a better incentive then to add a cash prize for winning. There are many ways to skin this cat, but I would prefer to see how much interest is in the league for this. This would not start til 2017 for a couple of reasons: 1) I don't want to jump this idea on anyone, 2) for teams that feel the need to evaluate and plan for a cash incentive, I want to give them the appropriate time to plan their roster.
** if we do the donation based option, there would be 2 caveats. #1 obviously if you do not pay in the current year you obviously can't win any cash. #2 I would also suggest if you do not donate the year previous, you also cannot win cash the current year. This would force rebuild teams into something of a "small blind" position, where they are essentially stating their time table to be competitive, and not automatically just deciding when to trade talent to build a worst-to-first roster. (cash not won can be rolled over, and teams that contributed donations would receive a credit for the future year and would not need to donate $ the following year) **
This is also an open forum to discussion. Again this is preliminary, so open to ideas and such.
