I may feel like an idiot for asking once I see the answer, but right now I am wondering if there is a 54% linked to revenue agreement (I know, there is not one, but assume that we get there for this question) then I could see vicious arguments over what constitutes revenue, what legit expenses there are, etc etc, but not about Floor/celing numbers. At the end of the day don't the players end up with 54% no matter the cap/ceiling? Even in year one they will get a rebate back after revenues are calculated, that is how the NFL does it I think.
So where am I going wrong in thinking that the Floor/Ceiling numbers mean next to nothing?
I'd guess it is because(as far as I know) the 54% lies in the middle of the two limits. You could achieve league-wide 54% revenue spending by having a handful of teams crack $100M and the rest at $10M. It's all to keep the difference as small as reasonably possible.
