There is no difference between the economics of a DIII Australian team and a US one except we most likely have been playing longer. Your teams have the benefit of being able to move up leagues easier making it easier for you to afford player salaries.

Well.. the player that he mentioned is a SG so it's impossible for him to have a 100k salary at the age of 21. There are only a few Centers that accomplish it so no way. I think that a 100k player for a division III team is not affordable. It's better for him to have 3 or 4 with 30k than one with 100k because it makes your team Balanced.
I think that your fine with each opinion you choose. If you want to train him for the u-21 or even the National Team I think it's better for you to keep training the HOF player because of the cap and all. But if you sold him right now you could get some money and you could buy 3 or 4 players that would make your team balanced.

Can you show me an American Div 3 team with a player with a salary over 100k?
Can you show me an Australian Div 3 team with a player with a salary over 100k?
Can you show me any Div 3 team in the world with a player with a salary over 100k?

A D.IV team with a 117k player: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/23949/players.aspx

Obviously not sustainable long-term, but he probably has the cash reserves to make it back into III. Whether or not that roster is sustainable in III if the salary increases again this season is a different question.

That team makes 82k in arena attendance.
Their players salaries are 200k.
Where is that 120k difference coming from to break even? Let's say Tv Contract is 60k. That still leaves 60k loss.
So unless his merchandise is 60k (which I doubt), he is losing money every week.

I could see him making 40-60k in Merchandising as the player is American and Bronson will be on the US NT. Bronson is an example of what happens if you dont plan your team properly and train more than one star instead of just concentrating on your HOF. If he had worked on a second player as well as his HOF he would have not been in such a position.

But of course you will rebut this with your one season of experience.

The whole point of this argument is that selling off such an amazing player that you were lucky enough to draft is like ripping up a winning lottery ticket. Its just plain stupid.

With proper team management and arena building that HOF is his ticket to the big leagues.

Your main argument is that a 100k player in division 3 is affordable.
And fine, if you have a 100k player with a bunch of very low salary players then it is affordable. But you will not see many (if any) good teams with that kind of player in div 3. It is much better to have 5 20k salary players.

I may only have 1 season of experience, but I still promoted, despite being a league where there were numerous teams that had been there for seasons and many had a much better team originally. It's not all about experience.

And it's not like ripping up a winning lottery ticket, it's more like taking a 10 million dollar payout now, rather than taking 15 million dollars total but paid 1 million a year over 15 years.

You might say that having it paid over 15 years is the better option, or you might go with the 10 million right now.
Both options have their benefits and both have their pitfalls.

If he thinks having a 100k player in div 3 is what he wants, then let him keep it. But he would be much better off, in my opinion, with 5 players with 20k salary each, and a bunch of old players with decent skills. Which he is much more likely to have if he sells his HOF player now, and buys new trainees and new old players.

But ultimately, to each their own.

Well, one of the best centers in the world (Antonio Silves) is on a Div IV team of Argentina so... Probably in 2 weeks he will be in the market but...
