Love all the ideas but I'm a big fan of having owners for the big teams and maybe the VHLM that hire the General managers the commissioners would have to approve the changes though.
That way a member could own the team and make changes as they see fit aslong as the commissioners allow it.
It would make the commissioners work less which frees up time to do more as a community.
The owners of the team could hire and fire GM's aswell as change the markets or sell the teams on high notes etc. It could add a fun element to the VHL and make salary worth more as you could sell a cup contending team for big bank.
this is just a hint at what my next Media is going to be about as I'm going to do a full write up on it. Just want to throw it out there for discussion.
