I think I won our league at the perfect time, right before the teams on your side of the conference all started to have very good teams. My side of the conference has always been pretty weak and I think I was the first team to win DII.1 from my side of the conference since I was there, and I think that was 7 or 8 seasons.

Once you jump to Naismith, you make so much more money and my last 2 seasons you have been guaranteed victories because other teams have gone up with teams good enough to win their league and are not ready for Naismith, so they sell their team off and just try to collect money. My first season in Naismith I finished fifth and this year sixth, but a real limited payroll most of the season. There's a lot of D2 teams that have a higher salary than I do right now, but aren't sitting on as much money. Right now I have about 470k in salary, but am making anywhere up to about 250k a week in profit.

So build a team that can compete in Naismith, try to have cash in case you need a player for the playoff, and have a huge arena so you can really collect some serious cash.

yeah, the gap is (seemingly) pretty huge in terms of finances and team quality.

The greatest of all time.

i have noticed some teams selling off their players and even going bot in the naismith. i don't ever remember that really happening in all the seasons i was up there, thus it was a much more difficult fight to stay up there not having a few 'gimmes' during the season.

i would love to be making 250k a week in profit with the roster i have! that is not going to happen down in our division with any hope of competing for promotion :(

Congrats Weather. You deserved it. I'm surprised i didn't win that one after the 1st quarter I had, but your bigs were clearly better than mine and they dominated all series. Congrats on the promotion.

Thanks. That's what I bought them for.

Wouldn't be surprised at all to see you take the league next season. That conference is brutal though.

The greatest of all time.
