How to set up financials for a parallel Major League

I'm into my 16 team fictional league and I have decided that I want a second ML to rise from the west. Eventually over time they may join, but for now I want them to compete for free agents. I want the new league to start off far below the level of income of the old league.

What I have done so far is limited the stadium capacity, baseline attendance, and ticket price baseline for the new league. I made the media contract baseline's the same as the old league. But, I have set all the market sizes to 0. I want this league to gradually evolve into a money making league.

What I am having trouble figuring out is should I set the player demands the same as the old league? I know the minimum should be lower because I don't want the teams spending all their money on just minimum contracts. I am wondering about the good players and up. I don't want a good player to take less money in the new league because he's getting "superstar" money, where in the old league average players are making that much.
