Within 3 years both profit and revenue grew well ahead of the market and continued for many years afterward.
There are many examples of these and other types of business models in sports.

Yes, when there's some other factor at work setting the budget, this should definitely be the case.
OOTP, however, continues to do that even with owner control of the budget turned off. If there's no owner control of the budget and the entire revenue stream is available, where the revenue stream is going to be some fixed value, the game-assigned budget should probably be that fixed value, not some variable only centered around that value and fluctuating by 40%.
