NFL should buy the CFL and add a team or two in Mexico--retool that into 8-10 teams and move the schedule a small bit. Call it NFL-B or whatever. I think 1 team relegation would be the way to start. Gray cup champ gets to move up and Det. Lions (this year) would go down. The league formerly known as the CFL would make more money and our Mexican friends would finally get a team or too.

I tackled the same thing in my column . It seems like one of the biggest complaints American sports fans have is that their athletes are getting paid lots of dosh without having any real incentive to put forth their best effort. Relegation introduces a much more practical motivation. Great article. I tackled the same thing in my column .
