And like you mention, there is the odd commercial situation here or there that may be impacted. Neal certainly is unique in that a transaction is dependent on it, and there may be other contracts out there with performance based bonuses
Interesting, and I hope we get to find out!

Another reason the league might do this is the publicity of giving ovi another chance at 50, assuming the top teams play for seeding.
