Eliminate the draft, eliminate owners, make the leagues a full coop of the players and operating employees. Divide the revenue evenly between teams at a set percentage, either at full on 100% or a lower amount, or at 80-90% evenly to each , with the extra getting split among top teams.

This is actually a pretty compelling argument, and makes a lot of sense from a labor rights standpoint too. The only concern is MLB, which has no salary cap so smaller-market teams literally could have no cost-controlled talent ever - although that itself may be desirable after the Yanks/Sawks pay $100m upfront for "The Next Mike Trout" a couple times and end up with four years of "The Next Matt Weiters"

I've completely lost interest in baseball because the Reds owners have been the right combination of small enough market, greedy assholes, and mostly incompetent that they haven't competed with any consistency in forever. Eliminate the first two and you can solve a lot of problems, the last part is just going to be part of anything competitive.
