Curious About Financials

fhomess · 02-12-2004, 10:19 AM

I was just wondering if there are any leagues of any type that have tried to recreate the financial imbalance that is in the game today and has been in the game to some extent for decades. Does anyone edit broadcasting revenue so your league's Yankees have way more money than your Pirates? I would think a league like this would need to be talent only, and I don't have any intention of starting one, but I'd be very interested in following the success of teams in a league like that.

Goto the bottom, we have a league luxury tax that's add's a fun and challenging twist.

I would have thought that all modern leagues would but I guess not.

Well, even for leagues that start with equal markets and finances, a few years down the road there is quite a wide road between the "haves" and "have-nots".
