If you created a league, such as you described, and put it online, and it had some appeal, I guarantee that you would find enough owners to fill it. (As long as you made a reasonable effort to recruit them.)

There are so many unknown variables, when discussing an imaginary league, you can't expect people to commit to it. A prospective owner must have something concrete to look at and consider, before he can decide whether he likes a league enough to join it.

The amount of interest and involvement that owners will show for an actual, constructed league is infinitely more than they will show for a proposal.

You can't join a proposal. You can't be a member of a proposal. You can't be loyal to a proposal. You can't love a proposal.

If you have imagination, webspace, and free time, build your league and start rocking. You'll get the owners.

Consider this fact: take a premium new league, fully fleshed-out and online--announce its launch on this forum, and you're going to pick up about one new owner a day. It takes the most interesting, well-done leagues at least a couple of weeks to fill up. You can't expect a bunch of people to flock around a proposed league, and get all excited about it. Not going to happen.
