I honestly don't know. I don't see why not having arbitration would be any different. You still have the same amount of money available between the teams to pay the players.
I don't want the teams getting the same media contract, but I would just see how it affected the financial projections during league creation. I feel that is the most important thing, is making sure you have all the payroll funds allocated to where the other essentialls can be added by the CPU as intended during programming.
I have no doubt it would work for a smaller league. Again, it is all about getting the dollar amount per market point to where you've got the funds you want in the right places.
These are again, just educated hunchs... but none of these change the payroll numbers themselves, so you should be fine. Your bigger markets are still going to get more payroll money, and if everyone gets the same media contract, they will still maintain the difference you set up in the budgets.
