I agree with the guy who said for a consolation tournament:
why not just have a consolation tournament for the lower 8 teams, the winner gets a consolation prize at their team's profile, but they won't play in the real playoffs?
that wasn't exactly the OP's original suggestion, but I think a "Toilet Bowl" for the 16 teams that didn't make the playoffs with a little toilet trophy would be cool
no money from ticket sales or concessions though
