There is some truth to the idea that better owners are necessary. Before you can address it, though, you really need to figure out WHY you don't have league parity, though.
Are teams at the top making so much money that they can simply continue to buy their way to more talent? - Maybe you need to tighten finances a bit so teams have to make tougher choices on who to sign
Are teams at the top the teams that are most active? - Maybe you need to replace inactive owners with ones who are active
Are teams at the bottom seeing all their high end draft picks go to waste? - Maybe you need to reduce the frequency of talent changes so that prospects drafted earlier are less likely to lose their high talents
Are teams at the top simply making smarter moves compared to teams at the bottom? - Maybe you need to get some smarter GM's for the bad teams, but maybe you need to find ways for teams to talk about strategy more so that your owners are a bit closer to each other in terms of experience.
I'm sure there are other reasons you don't have parity, as well as other solutions to the ones I posted here, but there really isn't a blanket statement "If you do this, you won't have this problem" that applies to all leagues. Utlimately, there are just too many variables in terms of league settings and GM's to say that. I think the one thing that is true in any league, however, is that inactive owners will never perform as well as active ones. If you've got a high percentage of inactive owners - it would behoove you to figure out why.
