I'm going to jump in here because I'm in a similar situation as tough. Some general questions about D4:

(a) What kind of TV revenue can be expected? Is it the same for all D4 leagues?
(b) My merchandising revenue stunk (calculated sacrifice to try to improve my team). Will winning a D5 Championship help significantly? Winning, not even consistent winning, hasn't seemed to compensate for the loss of native players from a merchandising standpoint--at least so far. Does the Championship part of it reverse that trend?
(c) What kind of ticket prices would a D5 League winner be able to support in D4? Or does that depend on the size of one's Arena (i.e., supply/demand)?

Thanks guys!

(a) http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thread=218284&m=1
A list of some USA D4 TV Contracts.
(b) Yes you will get a merchandise boost...well I did, if you don't try getting more American players
(c) Since you just won a championship, most likely you will sell out every game even if you are losing until the All-Star break. Btw you should improve on your Arena.

Thanks man!

I had to sacrifice nationality to get talent if I was going to compete for a title. I knew it would hurt merchandising, but it was a trade-off that seemed worth it. I just joined this game about 6 weeks ago, so I didn't realize that winning immediately wasn't necessarily good strategy. Having said that, I tried not to go overboard on players from the TL so I was able to put in at least some money into the Arena. Considering my short tenure with the team, I think we've done about as well as we could balancing building it up with fielding a competitive team, although it's definitely a priority when promotion money comes in!
