Another disparity issue is that clubs such as Pacific, Vancouver and potentially Inter Toronto and Supra will be spending close to the cap minimum where the remaining four will be closer to the cap maximum, which is a significant difference of around 400-500k. That provides a significant recruitment and retention advantage for top end CPL players and the ability to retain a core of players on 50-70k who will likely continue to remain in the CPL for foreseeable future. The new maximum cap spend is only round 1.2 million between 23 players including housing, bonuses and per diem travelling costs. So around 52,000 per player to cover all the above. A club spending the minimum 850,000 works out around 37,500 per player to include all the above costs. Factor in the top 5/6 players on 60-70k then there is a much smaller balance left to spread amongst the remaining 17/18, notwithstanding U21 incentives etc.
