Players in the IBL make between $30 and $300 per game depending on the team/market/ owner. The primary reason to play in the IBL in 2006 is for the love of the game, desire to play in front of a crowd, and exposure. A great side benefit to being in the IBL is that you can still maintain your commitment to job and family since IBL teams have efficient schedules (in fact so efficient that the total amount of times you will not sleep in your own bed per year- is one long travel weekend). Restated: IBL professional basketball players can continue to support their family and continue to further their non-basketball career, due to the IBL's efficient scheduling methods.
