Money adjustments
The league has refigured team revenue for 2005. In order to increase competitive balance, the formula for calculating revenue will have a floor of 70 wins. In other words, if you only win 54 games, your revenue formula is no different than if you won 70.
The purpose is to keep teams from falling so far behind in the payroll game that they can never compete. 8 teams were affected. For Texas, Springfield, NY Knights, Bay Area, and Philadelphia the change is minimal.
For Orlando, Las Vegas, and Hawaii its a nice bonus.
Orlando increases by 10.83 million (to 35.35), Hawaii by 6.7 (42.98 total), and Las Vegas by 10.35 (to 51.62).

In other team news, fake manager Lewis Solo, Sr today announced his intention of signing ace pitcher Dan Curry.
Real manager, Lewis Solo, Jr today reflected on the team not excercising the options on some of his young players, "In the end what this team needs is a good mix of you rising stars, which we have, and solid, proven veterans, which we don't have. What we don't need is crap. And that is what we've had the last couple of years, crap. I am going to stop coddling these kids. They will learn the meaning of discipline. That or they will be subjected to rooming with Solo, Sr on the road."
