Something like, for every person any team's coaching staff or in their front office who is white they pay into a league fund, and at the end of the season, that fund is split up evenly among the teams. That way the teams that do nothing but hire white guys end up having to pay out, while teams that hire a lot of minorities end up coming out ahead.

The problem with the Rooney Rule is it doesn't do anything to actually incentivize hiring of disadvantaged people, it just pays lip service to the effort.

This was an idea that was put out there by the NFL not too long ago I believe. They were kicking the idea around of offering up additional draft picks for teams that hired minorities. 

This was in 2020:

This is from last year:

It's actually in effect.

It's a weird incentive since it actually only incentivizes putting minorites in lower positions and hoping someone else (that doesn't benefit) promotes them.

I'm a fan of the kind of scheme I mentioned in lots of areas. It can be used to incentivize behavior in a desired direction in a lot of ways.
