I have a very bad D.2 team that is sitting on the salary floor. And I'm making a bit over 20k more then league average. I suppose that if I would have had decent players and been competitive I would have made a lot more. 40k was just a random.number. But if we're looking at lower level even 15k is much to remove.
Maybe 15k is not enough to remove, looking at the inflated market we need to find ways to cut income anyways. And as Utopia was never intended to take part in the rest of BB it does not matter a lot. Also teams sitting on the salary floor need to be punished anyways - Perpete even suggested to raise the salary floor.
As long as it is announced long enough in advance, so that teams can adapt to a change I don't see a problem.
