What types of things happen? Why can the sim handle this? I'm trying to understand before I get too deep into this.

Can the system not handle the minimum salary jumping a bunch in one year or not changing at all for 20 years? Can it not handle ticket prices changing rapidly, or not changing at all for a decade? Can it not handle if the average salary goes down like it has at times in the past?

From what I can tell, it also looks like the system uses much more of the total revenue for player salaries that has been used in real life historically, as owners used to get to pocket much more of the cash before the union became strong:

EDIT: Tried to post chart, but it didn't take, see the link BeachBum's post above, the chart I tried to post is near the bottom of that page.

I would add that the help file says the financials are 'realistic' and they most definitely aren't, so that was disappointing.
