Perhaps in an effort to make it to Div 2, many teams have taken the fast track strategy which involves investing in aging geriatrics rather than their arenas and the training of youngsters.

Im hopeful of breaking the 200K gate barrier in Div III before the end of the season and after one more purchase may yet be able to compete with some of the Div 2 teams when it comes to the cup

Have tried to manage all 3
Aging vets, train 3 guys at least every week
tried to keep up on thr arena as well
was just hoping for a little more money

The comparison earlier on and saying their close is not really so
Even $17K more in tv and $9K for merchandise would be a big help

I think those hoping to be first ever Heaven residents would be ok just breaking even

$17K more in tv

The TV contract is bound to the salaries of the whole league. If you want more TV money, buy expensive players before the TV contract is generated and fire them after that.

Exactly so. And the salary floor is tied to TV revenues too...so yeah, provided you invested in the arena you're gonna be better off going up. By going up you a) cash in the promotion bonus; b) you can afford a more expensive roster without spending significantly more (because higher TV ad merch will cover part of the increase in the salary floor)

Much of the problems may also be because there is no history to the league but as long as everyone is in the same boat, it shouldn't make any difference. The whole point of Utopia, to which I have warmed, is that you compete on an equal basis.

The lack of foundation is a serious problem, and i guess the promotion rush might not be the best strategy overall in the long run. But we have to see how this works out.
I got a decent foundation with my arena myself, but failed to promote. Erverybody has do deal with his issues, and it's not working perfect for anyone.
