As we all know, there is a lotof mistrust on the isssue of defining revenues. A lotof the revenues the PA woul elect to define are not done so bythe owners. Eric Duhatchek just had an interesting take on the PT sports. Instead of linking a low number to the revenues that you cantagree on, link a high number tothe revenues you do agree on.
We all know the owners play tricks with a lot of their integrated revenue streams. So instead of 54% of all Hockey related revenue, the NHL could offer 80% of a smaller set of revenues they can easily count, like ticket sales and tv contracts.
An interesting compromise? Its still a huge win for the owners, as they get their predicatability, but it would be a way to get around the trust issue.
