A one time $400k payment is nothing when Mandell agreed to pay that mush per year to have his team play in Hartford. He's also investing $6M to $10M into buying a team to play in the stadium and he's paying his players $20k-$35k per season. The players will be making more than what it costs to get a franchise for the NPSL and to pay the leagues annual fee. Also, there are 3 tiers when you consider the fact that MLS is the top, the USL is the second tier, and then the NPSL third, and the fourth tier is the PDL. Yes, their are only two professional leagues, but there are levels that players go through to get to the professional ranks. [/QUOTE]
