An idea I throw out....
I personally find it kind of stupid for a team that was in a 13 cap league to move up to a league with no cap at all. Why should the team that moved up have to completely disband to become competitive? Can't you just take all the winners from the 16 leagues and make them move in to one league within their own geographical area, then all those that finished second move in to another league and down the line. There all the teams that start in BBB together can essentially stay together. Essentially that allows all players who would be of a similar level to move together.
Let's use Western Europe as an example.
At the end of season 1 Winners go to a level 24 cap in BBB #1 and then 2nd place to BBB #2 etc....this begins season 2
Then at the end of season 2 winners and 2nd place teams move to two leagues and that is the new BBB#1-2 (trying to account for teams levels distribute accordingly) and it is capped at lets say 30-32 this begins season 3. So you take 2 teams from each leagues 1-16 and use some sort of program that would look at levels and say top team goes into league 1 and then next goes 2, then next goes 1 then back to 2 etc...this allows for the league to stay competitive and does not make a team gut themselves to move up. Teams that go CPU move to league 15-16.
Now finally in season 4 the league goes uncapped. No team has to be gutted and the competitive balance remains. Essentially as the teams move up in this fashion the leagues start to define themselves. 1st and 2nd would be pro 3-6 would be AAA, 7-14 would be AA. That leaves 2 leagues that you move CPU teams to. It gives free agents a chance to play and continue to improve their players with those of the same creation date time frame. At this level then all the teams may move up or down as they do now. The balance can still be there. So a diagram that helps out start at the bottom.
season 4................ no cap.......1-2..Pro
......................no cap.........3...4..5...6...AAA
...................no cap....7..8..9..10..11..12..13..14...AA
........................................15-16 CPU
season 3 cap 30-32 winners league.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.(15-16 CPU)

season 2..cap 24..winners league.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.(15-16 CPU)
