Since inflation is a huge issue.
Transfer list prices.
Lack of trained players.
And the new changes are creating financial strains/compounds to the problem.

Here's an alternative solution. On top of having a salary floor for each Division. Have a cap of how much money people can spend each season. Have taxes on unspent money saved up.

If problems are due to players that have been around 30+ seasons or tanking 5+ seasons to bankroll money. Level it out. If point is to be competitive and to train, to GDP opponents, etc. Then make that the focus somehow.

In the very initial season or 2 of utopia most of the fun was competing seriously in the mad rush to get to the highest divisions first.

Is there already a limit like you can only spend 5mil a season in d. IV? I am throwing out an arbitrary number for redirection of the purpose

You need 5 million to buy a top rookie. That would be a too low amount on any level

Only takes about 140k if you draft well

i think what the other guy tried to say is that you can spend hundreds of thousands on scouting points, manage to draft the best player available but the best player available ends up being a 3,6k 6'4" superstar SG with atrocious OD, which means he will be more seasons away of being a serviceable player than Bruno Caboclo.

hopefully that will change with the alleged new draft improvements from next season on. investing in the draft is currently the third best way to waste money, behind only hiring a lvl6+ coach and building 20k+arenas.

You can talk the talk, but you should walk the walk too. You're either too unexperienced regarding the draft, or never experienced the extremely luck factor that is needed to get the best player of the class.

I have drafted the best austrian rookie twice (without proper scouting) and ended up with nothing less than hot garbage the rest of the time.

Context clues and some mild research would show you that "I haven't done a single draft"
But it would also tell you I am a returning player.

So, I'll play along, whom are these 2 best Austrian rookies. What are their career highlights and achievements? All the hot garbage afterwards. Did every single one of them get fired? What happened to the ones sold? What are their career highlights?

Just because a player never does his country's u21 or NT does not make him hot garbage or any less of a player if he can still contribute to a team staying in a top division or promoting up to one etc.

Your definition is quite subjective, as I said, with around 140k in scouting you can get players equivalent to what people pay 5 mil for. Context clues there say more about what people are paying or over paying (long leach) money for.
