Could Baron buff ever become stealable?

I think it makes sense. It would make taking Baron less of a game-ender and more of a gamble or test of skill. If you take Baron and the enemy team takes advantage and kills your team, they'd be able to use it against you. Baron buffing would no longer be one-sided. Opposing waves of minions would have a chance to no longer be mowed down by buffed minions. Stealing Baron would no longer be considered a "worthy sacrifice" as much as it would be a gamble of skill. So, what do you think? What reasons would we have to not make it stealable? Could it ever become so? EDIT: I didn't realize today was "time to be a smartass" day. Yes there is Smite, but anyone with a brain worth a damn knows what I mean by stealing. I'm talking about stealing like how Blue and Red buffs work.

It doesn't make sense for Baron Buff to become yours once you kill the entire enemy team. Your reward for killing the entire enemy team is that they don't have baron buff anymore. That's it. If you let them get baron, something that can require a good amount of the team to take, it would be BS for you to just storm them right after and take the buff for a lot less work. If you want to steal baron, smite it, or get the last hit in. Otherwise deal with it, and try to kill the enemy as fast you can to get rid of their buff.

Baron isn't game ending either, at least not in lower elo's. I've had several games where baron has been used up with little benefit. The enemy team may of grabbed it after a good team fight, but they'd then spend the entire buff defending their base because my team pushed them that far. There have been other times when my team has defended against a baron long enough for either it to expire, or the enemy team to have been killed. It's perfectly fine.
