It is a wise decision to try and stay up, BUT even with the addition of 4 10k+ salaries it will still be difficult to stay afloat in a D3 league. Hopefully you get lucky and somebody goes bot in your conference to at least give you a shot at a relegation series no matter what. Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but the D3 league I was in the first time kicked my butt...even with a lot of the same guys I promoted with. Going back down was terrible though and if it wasn't for a few good player sales and player purchases (not day trading, just selling high and buying players that i kept for less) I would have lost a ton of money. In fact I never made money while I was back in D4. Luckily I dominated my D4 league yet again and find myself back in D3 and 1-0...which is my first winning record in D3 ever! lol
