In a "controlled rebuild" situation, I don't think you would have to do anything other than set the limit on what the team "average" can be dropped to. They will sell players, get their PPs from those sales, and opt to spend those points however they wish.

In a "reset" situation, however, it would have to be between seasons (Sunday night) since their team would have to disappear before the servers started reassigning everyone. In this case, the owner would get nothing - simply 6 new packs and their first 1000 points.

Maybe both options should be available.
I would think they are following the discussion, but as mentioned earlier, this is a discussion that was already had at least once in which their decision, based on the pros and cons brought up, was to not have a reset option. That doesn't mean that they won't change that decision based on further discussion, only that they did listen before and went with what we have. It was also stated in a very "unofficial" way that if the tanking was done in a reasonable sane way, they would essentially look the other way rather than hold them to the ToS (this is my wording of what was said, not a direct quote). The thing is, there are easy ways to lose without doing some of the things reported in this community. For example, if you're doing everything to win and winning only 45%, letting the AI run your team is probably enough to drop you down enough to get demoted (assuming the AI isn't smarter than the manager running the team). If the AI running your team isn't enough to get you demoted, then you probably belong at the level you're at. That being said, the AI is not a solution for the guy that just wants to ultimately start over, but is a way for a team to move down to a level they would be more competitive at.
