When a team promotes from lower divisions to higher ones, there is a cash prize based on the league they are entering. However, once a team has reached the top division/league, how come there is not some type of financial reward?

I understand that when a team promotes, they will probably need extra cash to be competitive in the higher division. At the same time, if a top tier team wins, shouldnt they receive even 300k or something that would visibly set them apart (and i know that attendance and season ticket holders go up) from the 2nd place team - aside from a trophy?

Just wondering, would like to know everyone's thoughts.

the cash price should help to adjust to the higher play in the division.

if you win div 1, you get the right to participate in the B3(which will give you a very small fincial boost, i believe around 100-150k in average), and higher visitor income then your opponents. I think thats enough, especially because winning div I is a very big achievement at least for me, and motivates me enough to reach it even when i lose money through it.

And you don't want to set up a self-perpetuating system where the winner has an undue advantage to continue winning.

no from B3, this varys a lot but most teams play just the 8 games at beginning with afaik 20k finning price. So i give additional 20-70k as a average Ko round bonus.

visitors i expect something close to 20k more each week, but i am first time champion now. Merchandise i won't guess.
