If you allow current owners to pick a 2nd team, it may actually entice others to join. Owners may commit once the league looks closer to filling... Just a thought.
I will hold off on selecting a 2nd team anyway I think bc I'm not happy I have to pay half for a 'free' team. I won't rant here, I have elsewhere already, but I've been on this site for 14 years & have never not been able to use the credits I've earned to pay in full (MLB & NBA). It is now only allowing me to pay half with credits (haven't tried other sports since this has happened. Maybe it is just a rule for NFL, IDK nor care) & I won't do that on principle. (I will 1 time to enter the Rams bc I have already committed to them & don't want to back out for several reasons, but mainly to keep my word)
