I like Cubs idea.
As much as i'd love to see (or be part of) a 24 team, two league, 6 division, with full playoffs (wild card round, league cahmpionship, world series), the reality is that it would be hard to fill every time, especially if it isn't a specialty league off the boards.
But if the size of league was an option at league creation time, then it might be more interesting. That way you could know if you had the full commitment of a 24 person league before you created it and got stuck waiting forever to see it fill.
Also (and this only relates to a 24 team league) you could payout winners essentially the same way. League Championship loser gets a free credit, League Championship winner gets 2, and the bonus is an extra 3 days of competition for the world series. - Same number of buy ins as two full leagues, same payouts - financially a wash for TSN, but increased fun for the players.
16 and 20 team leagues may require some more thought on TSNs part for payouts, but still viable I think.
I'm just happy that they are entertaining the idea.
