$60k contracts for top 60 players.

Wonderful news. Here's hoping it can go thru.
It would be great if every player in the league could be a full-time pro. I think the league's quality would jump up significantly if that was possible.

Who funds it on an ongoing basis? Is it commercially viable?

Would a solution be to put a levy on the juniors to fund a professional league?
