There have been changes. From the Game Manual:
"Because the league finals tie-breaker match revenue goes to charity, both the league champion and runner up receive a fixed amount award after the finals. The amounts are determined for each division level specifically. The runner up is awarded exactly half the specified amount. They are as follows:
DIV I: $ 400 000
DIV II: $ 250 000
DIV III: $ 150 000
DIV IV: $ 100 000
DIV V: $ 80 000
DIV VI and beyond: $ 60 000"
