As interesting as a division swap sounds, I'm not in favor of it for 3 main reasons.
First, and the biggest reason is what was already touched upon. Some managers have stronger teams in some leagues and weaker ones in another, so swapping and/or randomizing the divisions could throw off the balance and fairness and getting stuck with multiple strong teams or weak teams in each league. The only way point 1 would be fair is if the leagued were consistent through all 4 seasons, however that leads to point #2. I can't speak for everyone, but the division assignments were posted in the beginning of this thread. If someone had said something before the draft or within the first few rounds then that may have been fine. However I, and I know at least one other person have tailored my draft strategy with the knowledge of who was in my division, so a division swap kinda ruins some of my draft because I was planning to play against certain teams more frequently. Which leads me to my third point in which I want to stay in the central with Rob because he's a guaranteed last place finish in all 4 leagues making it a 3 team race instead of 4. =)
