So I think this seasons weekly updates are done (next week would be the first of season 7, correct?)

I tracked my finances closely, for the first time, to see just were the numbers fell for this season in light of the economic changes. So for my team:

Fixed Revenue 4,667,600

Ticket Sales 3,374,799
Merchandise 837,801
TV 455,000

Fixed Expenses 3,914,868

Player Salary 3,022,079
Staff Salary 892,789

Net Fixed 752,732

Bonus Revenue 775,000
National Cup 725,000
BB Best 50,000

Net Operating 1,527,732

Temporary (4,475,783)
Sales 13,777,657
Purchases (18,253,440)

Seaon 6 Net (2,948,051)

For a team that went to the playoff SF, won the cup, and played a couple rounds in the B3, operating for the season was ~1.5m in the black, and just over half of that came from bonus revenue (cup/b3).

As one team for only one year, this is kinda useless for drawing any conclusion on the economy. There's a lot of assumptions made about teams from different levels and countries but few actual numbers. Be interesting to see some averages from other D1's around the world, and other divisions in the US, maybe one of the BB's could run some numbers.

Drat. I wish I kept track of my money.

Interesting info you've got there. I'd be interested to know how this looks for various divisions.

Interesting numbers. I didn't keep very good track of my finances but I believe that my net fixed gain was around $600k (and my bonus revenue was substantially less). Which means that I am still falling further behind existing teams in terms of gross revenue.

2 things that made up the majority of my profit this season was:

1 - Selling off my best center in week 3, who made about 50k/week. Savings totaled around 500k.

2 - Winning the cup, total from the cup was 725k and the SF (100k) and Final (250K) made up about half of that. So, Fish was a finalist in the cup and made 525k, DFC and Bulls making to the SF made 425k.

Plus, spent most of the season with fans in a really good mood (4-5 almost all the time)

I should have added "run some numbers and post them for us to see"

Otherwise, my email is [email protected], preferably in excel

We always do - that's how we come up with the revenue sharing.

You're a jack of all trades
