Given that, to avoid antitrust concerns, recent leagues like the MLS have come into being as single entities rather than as an alliance of individual owners, I would say that the trend is towards more group control rather than less.

However, if the Ontario Coyotes wanted to fly solo and do a barnstorming tour like the Cincinnati Redstockings or the Kansas City Monarchs, I would probably pay several dollars to watch them have a go at the Snoopy rink against the local teenagers.
