Oh wait, that's just too simple.
Teams already do a lot of things like that. Even with adding more, there is still way too much money going to the owners to even be near fair for anyone.

I know it seems like players are WAY overpaid, but that is because of our desire to watch them compete. We are willing to pay the prices the owners charge to see the competitions, and the players deserve their fair share instead of the owner getting most of the cash.
