Yeah, you're right. Right now I'm thinking about just not letting that second league get to 32 teams and keeping it at 24 and 24. For anyone familiar with the CIBL concepts on here from Sportslogos.com, it was already a 40 team league that I cut down to 32.
The eight that I cut were duplicate cities at odds with the older league, Daniel Saline's USBL. I think I'm going to make the decision to cut an additional eight of the 32 CIBL concepts that I just don't really like.
I do enjoy the idea of 16 teams at the top and then two 20-team, regionalized second tier leagues, but 16 top flight teams would be a bit too small for me.
As for the pro/rel rate, I think four teams going up and down is good for me. That's about 16%, which is a bit higher than the Premier League's ratio.
I'm still workshopping this concept and editing a fairly comprehensive spreadsheet. If you guys want to download my initial USBL concepts, they're on my profile. OOTP 24's version came out better than 25, to be honest.
