Hey question for you all, how broke are you? Does anyone here aside from brian actually have $ or is doing well financially? Just want to get a read on the NBBA, I'm not scouting you guys for info or whatever, idgaf.

Not including the cup, if I win my road game I get around +20k profit a week, if I lose the road game I'm at -50k. This season I bounce back and forth from having 200kish in the bank to 700k back to 200k after the salary update.

Is it like this for most of you guys or is it just me? Just want to see if everyone is as broke as I think they are, on the offsite we are trying to come up with ideas to help the NBBA so that we can promote ownership and training of NT players and prospects.

Hey man, I've got about 800k, and and running at net zero right now (i.e. BBB and cup income even my salaries out). I've been monitoring the offsite and am always on the look-out for an NT player but as you can see, the capital cost might be an issue. (could sell a starter for $1m+ though).

I'm in decent financial shape after selling off most of my team, I'd be interested in picking up a 22-25 year old prospect.

My Dr is $36K which is running up my staff salary, but i have been negative for so long I have not been able to do anything about it. Turns out promoting to the NBBA with a tiny arena is just bad business. :-(

I have $5M cash on hand. I don't really remember where it came from, I got $2.5M from Choluj, $400k from a backup C and was probably about +$500k from my tank-and-repromote stunt (I overspent in D2 to make it lower-risk). I guess the other $1.5M I've just been sitting on since forever.

I was running at about break-even until the promotion bonus attendance wore off a couple weeks ago, probably would have wound up -$35k/wk or so and I didn't get much from cup this season. After I sold Choluj I was +$60k/wk and I think I could have continued winning some games, but it would have been a precarious existence -- since then I've had both Havens and Lincoln take two week injuries, which would have been a death sentence in a normal season (I've been awfully lucky).

Planning on toying around for the rest of this season with weird player builds (if I can find them on TL) and then probably tanking next season to try to build a dynasty, not really in the market for any established NT talent right now.

I have about $200k leftover and a broken roster. I think I should be able to stay in 5th for now with what I have. I really dont have a strategy for the future...just trying to survive

I'm broke as a joke. It really doesn't help that my schedule is backloaded, I end the season with 2 home games. My fan survey can be perfect for this season, but last seasons 1 ball rating from the relegation series has sunk my ticket sales. It's the stupidest thing ever, I'm winning games yet my fans stay the hell away based on what happened last season? What...are they STILL pissed off at me and have the longest ever grudge?

Comparing my ticket sales to what they were after I won the title, my ticket sales are anywhere between 80k-150k lower. 80k is the best possible. The 150k lower is despite having 5 balls for Rival and TV game. If I had lost them, I can't imagine how low it would go.

Despite being the #1 seed (for now), I'm starting to regret winning the relegation series. Does that make any sense to anybody? I feel like if you win a relegation match you HAVE to tank the next season, it's the only practical thing to do.
