That would be a good start. There's a number of ways to do it. The reason why I like the NFL's method is because it raises the value of each individual franchise and when you have a league of valuable franchises, then the league is stronger. The opposite of F1. The problem is, this is what works and how F1 does it has been showing that it no longer works. It's just that the groups involved will not let go of their pieces of the pie.
In 2010 the NFL shared 3 billion in revenues. Last year it was 7.2 billion. That's a LOT of money, while the sport continues to grow. The NHL has done the same thing. People want to see parity in sport. They want to see unpredictability and that anyone can win. Honestly.. what the hell is F1? Why is there a car called Manor who can never win a weekend, let alone a championship. It makes less sense the more I type. I understand F1 was a certain way in 1989 with Senna vs Prost and we all loved it but those days are over, that system no longer works.
It's January and everyone knows that nobody can challenge Mercedes. It was the same last January and the January before that. There will be a few hopefuls and pundits saying "Ferrari have made great strides" and "Vettel can win the championship this year" but the people that know, they know nobody can challenge Mercedes this year because the rules prevent anyone from developing enough to get the performance needed and that simple isn't fair or entertaining in this day in age.
