Cash

[Pat]

Still haven't figured this out completely.

Right now I have $25 mill in cash. Do I lose any of that at years end? Or does it stay?

Your balance now is $52 million. The $25 million is the $20 million you carried over from last year plus the cash you received in trades. You won't have anywhere near $52 million at the end of the year since your media revenue is already included in the $52 million so the only revenue you'll get for the rest of the year is gate and merchandising revenue and your remaining player salaries are far higher than the total of these meager amounts.

At the end of the year you will lose any cash over $20 million from the balance line of your financial page.

So what should I do with that cash?

Hookers and blow.

[Carlos]

I forget, where does the extra cash go? Revenue sharing?

[Lintyfresh85]

It disappears does it not?

[dkgojackets]

why the fuck would you make the cash disappear

[Carlos]

Yea, I would think it should go somewhere.

I'm pretty sure it's revenue sharing because I know we have it in this league and there's no other place to take loose cash.

[Clay]

It does disappear - revenue sharing is based on teams spending over the ceiling

[Ryan]

I think it disappears to keep teams from hoarding the cash over a period of years and then using it all to rule the world? But I could be wrong.

Cash Maximum
The Cash Maximum is $20 million. At the end of the season anything over $20 Million in cash will be lost.

Stadium funds
Teams may transfer money into a stadium fund which will be maintained separate from the normal finances and won't be subject to the Cash Maximum.
Stadium fund transfers are only allowed between the end of the season and the beginning of Free Agency.
This money can only be used for upgrades to your stadium or to purchase a new one.

I'm all for speaking your mind, but was the F bomb really needed?

Exactly. It disappears to keep the league financials in balance. Without it teams could horde endless amounts of cash. This would especially be a problem because FA's consider the amount of available cash in the league when deciding how much money they want.

Consider it as your team's greedy owner pocketing all the profits.

Yeah that really wasnt necessary.

Come on guys...seriously...

As for the cash...so what do I do with the $$$ over $20 million? Can't I buyout some of a players contract? What does everyone else do when they are over the limit?
