S42 Prop 1 - League Contraction

A yes vote will result in more polls about how and when to contract the league. A no vote might result in more polls about how to handle stewardship and recruitment now that more teams need active GMs.
Polls close in 3 days from the posting of this poll.
Feel free to discuss pros and cons below.

And remember...if you vote in all the polls this season, you get 3 points. (I voted)

Damn... This is such a difficult question to answer.
On one hand, I think stewards are great; they help teams to stay afloat until they find a new GM.
On the other hand, what would we do if it weren't for stewards? I can understand why you would want to remove them but how would you deal with the aftermath (aka having teams with no GM)?

I voted yes. It'll be different with less teams but it's the right thing to do long term.

Voted. If interest ever comes back, we can re-expand. Having all these steward teams really holds things back.

Voted. No need to carry excess teams for multiple seasons when we can always add teams later if it came to it. These abandoned teams have been decayed so much that there isn’t anything left to be preserved by stewards.

Quick question with contraction likely and All Star Break approaching - are stewards allowed to use the remaining point banks to train players before they get released via contraction draft/UFA?
If not, some ideas maybe for future discussion would be to pool the points and redistribute them among the remaining teams evenly or give weighted points based on draft order.

I'd say no on steward training. It looks like contraction is going to pass, and one of the follow-up questions is what to do with a team's salaried players and assets. If there is a contraction draft--along with a regular draft--and they're both run in the same order, that's kind of a double bonus for tanking teams. I'll be putting up several more polls to determine this (and other things) for next season.

As 14 votes is more than half the active team, I'm codifying this into law. The league will be contracted!
