Usyd sold their souls a long time agoSydney Uni are skint this year. It's great they're not lowering standards in education and selling their souls for Chinese money this year, but they won't be putting more money into sports.

Sadly that may well be the case. However, they had worked hard to solidify their place in NEAFL and can’t imagine they’d now want to pass up the opportunity of a spot in the more prestigious VFL if they can possibly help it.Sydney Uni are skint this year.

Usyd has invested heavily in their AFL team of late. I'd be surprised if they pulled out nowSadly that may well be the case. However, they had worked hard to solidify their place in NEAFL and can’t imagine they’d now want to pass up the opportunity of a spot in the more prestigious VFL if they can possibly help it.
In addition, if they don’t participate Sydney will likely have no non-AFL representation in the top Eastern Seaboard competition, which will significantly impact on development pathways for Sydney based players.
It makes sense but there’s a lot of tradition tied up in the “VFL” name and I’d be surprised if the Vics give that up without a fight.EAFL

Yes, speaking as a former member of staff at the university and knowing what pain they would be going through right now, it is just not possible for me to imagine that spending money on the football team to boost them up to the VFL is something that could realistically be doing right now.Sydney Uni are skint this year.

I wonder how much more it would actually cost to move into the VFL though?Yes, speaking as a former member of staff at the university and knowing what pain they would be going through right now, it is just not possible for me to imagine that spending money on the football team to boost them up to the VFL is something that could realistically be doing right now.
I think the NEAFL salary cap was around $200k while the VFL salary cap was up around $400k, but will be getting lowered. Still, it is a big step up in terms of player quality and wages.I wonder how much more it would actually cost to move into the VFL though?
Will depend on sponsorship I guess.I think the NEAFL salary cap was around $200k while the VFL salary cap was up around $400k, but will be getting lowered. Still, it is a big step up in terms of player quality and wages.
The stand alone clubs like Port and Willy will be hardest hit.I think the NEAFL salary cap was around $200k while the VFL salary cap was up around $400k, but will be getting lowered. Still, it is a big step up in terms of player quality and wages.
You’re close to the Port club aren’t you Beds? What do you think their view on this is?The stand alone clubs like Port and Willy will be hardest hit.
I think it's a bit early to say . In my opinion the AFL will go back to a ressies comp and the stand alone club will be deserted. There is already salary cap cut backs at suburban and country leagues. All up in the air atm.You’re close to the Port club aren’t you Beds? What do you think their view on this is?
