I understand and I didnt mean to offend, its just Miami is not in a good spot right now. THey missed out on free agency and have a really good defense but a ton of holes on offense. Im not singling them out, Lets just stick with the Browns. Perennially they suck, how does no salary cap make them better? And if they dont improve under the cardsfanboy rule and go 3 years stinking up the joint, ok ya penalize them. Then what? How do they get better then? Ok the owner sucks, the management sucks etc.. I get that, how is that the salary caps fault in the first place?

No salary, a salary cap, it doesn't matter, which is kinda my point. Teams suck because they have crappy management, teams are good because they have good management. Salary cap doesn't figure into the equation.

As to how the penalties would work, in the nfl. It's fairly easy in the NFl, since most of the revenue is shared revenue.

Any team that has three consecutive years (meeting whatever requirements you set) that fails to meet the requirements would get a 10% penalty to their revenue sharing, and a salary floor will be required. If the next season they don't show an improvement in their record, the floor will go up, and the penalty will also be increased. If this happens three years in a row, the league assigns a competitive committee to take over the franchise, and requires the owner to sell the team.

There are other ways to do this, but this gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.
