But to be real, let's keep this all in perspective here.
Pro Training for an 8 week season = $8,000,000
Pro Equipment for one season = $12,000,000
Total Cost to Sustain Max Earner = $20,000,000 per season
Now let's account for the Earnings.
Twitter Payments for an 8 Week Season = $4,800,000
Fantasy Payout: $1,000,000
Minimum Contract: $1,000,000
Total Earnings so far: $6,800,000
That leaves $13,200,000 left to be earned each season for a player. So how can he earn that? Well, writing is an easy way, right? We all do media for money.
With the new payscale a 1,000 word article pays $1,644,000. So the player needs to write 8 of those in order to fill the gap and afford the rest of their season bill. That actually fits perfectly in at 1 article per week during an 8 week season. So in total this player has to write 8,000 words of media to afford being a max earner. Let's add into that the words needed to write all the PTs which comes to 350 words/week and we're looking at another 2,800 words.
So a max earner on a minimum contract needs to: Do all twitters every week, participate in fantasy, enter predictions, and they have to write 12,800 words in 8 weeks to sustain maximum effort. That is 228 words per day. Essentially they are writing one Weekly PT every day to be a max earner.
Look I'm not saying that is a backbreaking amount of work, because it isn't. But I don't think we can assume that everyone is going to want to put in that much work here. I really expect that once people retire their first character and the loyalties from the early days of the league aren't as strong we can expect a lot more players to be negotiating for higher contracts to reduce the amount they have to work.
