I just think it’s a conversation with ownership much like this is all:

Draft centric but same. It is being reinvested. Just not with you. It’s not team money. It’s the owner’s. And it’s most definitely going somewhere else. Probably real estate. Or a hedge fund. That’s the mechanic at play, I’m afraid.
It’s always been that way. The only change this year is the game checks if you were over budget the previous year automatically whereas it used to only levy the penalty if you touched the budgets and tried to change them. They closed that bug/loophole this year.
