so what if the buffalo-types are killed off? Football is just entertainment. The purpose of entertainment is to please as many people as possible. Teams like the bills, bengals, jaguars, vikings, etc have very small fan bases when compared to teams like dallas, washington, san francisco, etc.
If theres a system that results in the teams with the larger fan bases winning more... then so what? teams that are in small markets could disappear, but more likely... they would move to a market that has the fanbase to support it. For example, the vikings could move to LA, the Bills could move to Toronto, the Jags could move to mexico, etc.
In the end, there would be no cap, and teams with the most fans would generate the most revenue, and therefore be in good position to improve by spending more money on players. but all 32 teams would still be in a position to remain competitive, since all 32 teams would be geographically located where they would have strong fanbases.
