Below are some ideas I have for the league:

SCHEDULE: Most likely 154 games so comparisons to MLB players can be made.

EXHIBITION GAMES: I may allow ACTIVE Negro League clubs or perhaps just the NBL champion to play "exhibition games" with white major leaguers (either a collection of white major or minor leaguers OR actual MLB clubs). The Negro League clubs would be able to pocket profits as an additional funding source.

DEFECTIONS: Negro League players will only consider defecting to MLB beginning with 1947. Prior to 1947, however, a certain number of Negro League players will choose to defect to "other Leagues" (e.g., Mexican League or a rival Negro League if our league ownership is not stable).

INTEGRATION OF NBL: After a few years of league play, I may allow for a limited number of white players to join the NBL.

CUBAN WINTER LEAGUE: Teams may be permitted to send a limited number of their young players to the Cuban League for seasoning and as a result a minor rating increase.
