A better revenue sharing system that helps out the smaller markets more? Hell yeah! Salary cap? Gawd no. Please Gawd no God please. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! !!!!
Salary caps look great on the surface, but a) they suppress the salaries of the people who are the show, and b) they result in terrible, terrible trades because teams have to consult the capologist all the time to make sure everything financial balances out. I want to see rebuilding teams be able to turn things around quicker (if they have any smarts) by trading their veterans for prospects, with no regard for money (aside from perhaps sending some to the receiving team to sweeten the deal, and increase the prospect haul). There's already a soft cap anyway. That's plenty of suppression of player salaries in my view.
