I've never been one to build a massive war chest, but the couple seasons in the NBBA certainly helped. I was hoping to spend Season 49 doing the initial 1v1F training of a group of 18/19yo bigs in the NBBA where the incomes are higher and a Fan Boycott wouldn't have been as painful. However, I lost Game #3 of the Relegation series by 6 points after Stanton Jones got injured 7 minutes into the 1st Quarter. Role of the dice just didn't go my way.
Instead I was forced to do the most painful portion of a rebuild in Div. II which meant getting hit with a Fan Boycott while seeing the lower incomes of Div. II. That Boycott only got lifted a few weeks ago. All that has put me a little behind where I wanted to be in this reload. However, I certainly won't be able to keep this entire group together if I'm still in III.14 next season.
Jones, Lewis, Fortier and Melton were all draftees of mine and I spent a total of $66,400 for Sawyer and Addison as 19/18yo's. Those make up my top 6 players. Them being draftees and USA players does help with Merchandise income though. I'm proudest of Jones who I've managed to train into a 139 TSP, occasional NT player while using only a Superior level trainer the entire time.
