I say with the utmost respect, that you are seeing the glass half empty, as usual. That's not a slam, but you aren't exactly optimistic in many of your posts on this board!

I say we must do one of two things before next year:
Attract some new managers (2 or 3 would make a world of difference, and perhaps initiate a ripple effect)
or
Follow your suggestion, and shut it down. Personally, I would leave that league if it were cut to twenty as a Real Time league, and pick up another team in a league that has 24. This is the last year I will stay in the league with eight unmanaged teams. It's ridiculous unless we get at least two or three of them managed next year! On THAT, we agree.
