Or take some of it out of the GMs hands. When their turn comes up for a pick they can make the decision to take the buy-out. Example : my pick #37 (in five turns) is forfeited in favor of the scheduled amount. If someone does not make the pick in a certain amount of time, they are automatically bought out.
You can have the one week lead up the way it is now, with the added option of taking the cash. Maybe if there is no pick in 12 hours (not including a midnight to 8AM blackout) the pick goes to cash.
On the following Saturday, if a person does not make the pick in the five minute scheduled window, they are given the forfeit. That gives an incentive to come, and a reward for those that do come to the Saturday draft (the possibility of moving up through inactivity). It would also possibly cut down on dumping, as there is not a total loss to missing a pick.
