I don't recall reading that, I only remember comments about adding a DL to the existing minor league setup.
In any case, I don't see why it should be difficult since the game already allows for fully unique top-level leagues. One would only need to refine that system whereby players are moved up and down between leagues — and the game can already handle players moving between top-level leagues as free agents can leave one league for another.

That only works if the decrease in sales due to a higher price is matched by the increase in revenue from the higher price. I'll let the resident economists here explore the issues surrounding the pricing of products and maximizing revenue.

Yes, but shoehorning in a DL into the current structure is the wrong solution. I can see why the minor league setup in OOTP has evolved the way it has, but to continue adding to a limited (perhaps even flawed) system would not seem to be an optimal way to go.
Better to go the "all leagues are fully separate and unique" route because, sooner or later, it'd have to go that way anyway if the game is to fully maximize historical league authenticity and fictional league flexibility.
