And the owners would absolutely never agree to it because it doesn't make sense - you are suggesting that a minor, fan issue should trump financial concerns. Yeah, the owners are going to be all over that!

Biggest gripe of fans of losing teams is lack of effort or passion from the players and lack of corrective action by management. This fixes that.
Is it just a fan issue? Do you think the league is thrilled with the Oilers and Sabres of the league? It's not that outlandish and teams could easily work it into their budgets.
Again, I said I don't think the owners would go for it straight up, but I think some sort deviation of this might just work.
