Sounds like the way Belicheck runs the New England Patriots.
Anyways, I think that most guys (myself included) use their imagination and house rules. For example, I just completed and am playing in New Fenway Park. I assumed 50% public financing of a $350 million stadium project. I popped it in an amortization schedule (T-Value) using a 30 year payback at 5%. I increased the seating capacity to 57,000 and changed the dimensions all around (got rid of green monster). The yearly principal and interest comes to about 10.2 million. I will merely manually deduct this amount from my cash balance at the end of every season.
I got rid of the green monster because I think it did more bad than good. For example, Nomar hit a home run in Texas last night that would have been an off the wall single at Fenway.
