How about this? Define a very high threshold of each player's stack to the blinds. Once bubble play commences, players above this threshold are removed from play, they automatically win the satellite. They can move on to different games, not be bored, and generate rake for the site.

This removes this collusion issue.

How about just say "Once you end a hand with at least X in chips, you win a seat automatically and have your chips removed from play"? I like that idea myself. I refuse to play multi-seat sattelites because of things like this. Most people just calculate that number and fold every hand anyways until the small stack busts, so what's the worry?

Maybe Rotter was trying to dissuade people from making an aggressive call.

You'd rather just sit there and do nothing? I don't see who would object to this.

In fact I'd make it even simpler. If your chip stack reaches X, you "win" and leave the tourney.
