It's a static amount, so it's probably just hard-coded for each league. Higher leagues have better tv deals. That's all there is to it.

This is an FAQ entry (144856.17):

What is the TV contract and how is it calculated?

The TV contract is something that all teams get in all leagues. All the teams in a particular league get the same amount of money from the TV contract. Higher divisions get more income from the TV contract. The TV contract is calculated at the beginning of each season depending on what league you are in and how competitive your league is and stays the same for the entire season.

It is calculated based on the total salaries of your league at the beginning of the season.

I thought tv revenue depended on the number of star players in the league. If its total salary that matters then leagues where teams have more players will produce more revenue even if the players are crap.

How would "star players" be identified if not by salary? (don't say NT player or else virtually ever 3rd, fourth, fifth and 6th division league would have the exact same tv contract)

I don't know the exact formula but number of players has a relatively small impact on the total salary across an entire league. Teams that tend to horde bad players are hording $3k a week guys. No one has a team of 20 $20k players. It is also possible to imagine that the game is designed to peg TV contracts against the average salary in the league.

additionally to the thing that the faq said, the overall quality of the "complete" divisions plays a role. So every second division of a country, is close to each other in the tv contract.

You're right, there's no proper way to identify star players. I'd read that somewhere though - must have been a misinformed statement. What you say does make more sense - average or total salary is a more definite measure. I just thought it was funny that you can get more tv revenue because you have more players sitting on the sidelines.

i don't know how it is realised, but maybe the system determine the impact of the player by the salary structure in the team.

So that the best paid player, have the most impact on tv money while number 15 didn't get considered. Maybe this would be a way to consider the "stars"

Hmm...that might work. But how many players would you consider and how would you assign weights? For example if one team has a huge drop in salary from player 1 to player 2 and another has players around the same salary.

I think chris902 is right and that its just the total or average salary that is taken into account. Otherwise it would be complicated and possibly unfair.
