The other problem is that US sports leagues are set up as pyramid schemes for billionaires, in which you can buy into a league that guarantees parity in return for your dollars and equal share of TV rights, and then team values and revenue continue to go up and then you get a nice share of the next sucker to buy in. That’s not something that happens in European soccer, nobody buys Norwich knowing that the value of their investment is intrinsically tied to every other team in the Premiership.
Some of the suggestions in this thread are an absolute non starter for those reasons. NFL and NFL owners would much rather the odd scandal than change the system in any meaningful way that would result in less parity and a chance that misrun teams wouldn’t still be worth a billion dollars.
