I am thinking about buying a franchise and have a question about the budget. How is the best way to set my budget? How much for players? how much for the coaches, scouting, trainers? I know there is no right or wrong number but there is a ball park that most of you guys that are successful must use. Please just let me know how some of you all have your budgets set. Thanks

Here's what I do:

20m in training. Training develops, and slows decline, in the physical categories(range, power, arm accuracy, etc, etc)
20m in medical. I don't worry about injuries.
16-20m in college OR scouting. At best, you might get 3 picks in the top 100. No need to scout both.
6-9m in coaching. I don't have to have the best, I'll take "good enough".

The rest are fluid. High payroll = no international scouting/high prospect.

Same here

This SHOULD read 16-20M in college OR high school scouting. .....
