Using this site and the ever useful QuickSum function I made this chart to show how various teams will be effected under salary caps of $30M,$35M and $40M.
Teams are placed in descending order based on their player salaries for the 2003-2004 season. Under the 3 cap’s columns are the amount that each respect team must cut in order to reach the salary cap, a blank = teams are already under proposed salary cap. Cap total columns = the total amount of player salary that will be cut by teams over the given salary cap.
Spending room for teams under the salary caps are not included in this chart.
Total player salaries(does not include player costs) were $1,332,974,890 for 03-04.
Using the players 24% salary rollback and applying it to the total player salaries we get $1,332,974,890 X 0.76 = $1,013,060,916.40 divide that number by 30 teams are we get $33,768,697.21 or a $34 million salary cap.
Nashville would only be $7,067,500 – $17,067,500 below the highest salary team under a $30M-$40M cap vs the $54,923,600 that they are currently below the highest salary team.
Extreme team disparity would decrease 321% – 771% under the above salary range and should translate into a fiscally competitive 30 team league.
