Equalized Cities

I spent a lot of money to build my Stadium. I realize it is 11 seasons ago or so. However, I also took  5 seasons to pay it off 300 million, and traded a lot of assets to even have the ability to. So I do think there should be exceptions to the only in the past 4 years.

I also am fine whether we do equalized or do not.

I think we could definitely look at additional years, the four years was just an off the top of the head suggestion. However, I do think the Net Budget changes need to be taken into consideration. Like, I could complain that over the past few years I've had to sell 1st round picks to stay in the black. 

Under the Revenue Sharing, my Net Budget has been around 130M. Based on what Andy has posted for the equalization tests, I'm going to gain 10-15M in spending power. If I had 140-145M budgets to work with, I probably wouldn't have had to sell my picks as often and/or might have been able to get away with selling my 2nd round picks, instead of my 1st rounders.

With winning generally comes increased spending in future seasons without reprecussion and I don't think I saw that. Certainly, some of it I brought on myself. No one but myself made me spend 175-200M on payroll for a few seasons. With equalization I get some of that back, but I'm unsure if I'f have a leg to stand on to ask for money back.

To Andy, honestly this is my forte. I think I can come up with a good financial proposal based on Revenue Sharing years Net Budgets, what the expected Budget changes are with equalization, and large cash expenses coming from the Rev Sharing years.
