They need to open their eyes then jesus christ, didn't the mega greedy nba stars agree on a 50/50 split...
50/50 makes the most sense ALL THE TIME...
**** the players.
The mega-greedy NBA stars agreed to much more than a 50/50 split. It is a little surprising that people want make comparisons based on numbers without any other data points.
First the NBA CBA has a soft cap and a luxury tax that allows teams to spend over the cap. A few other differences:
Revenue Split
Players receive 51.15 percent of BRI in 2011-12. In later seasons players receive 49 to 51 percent of BRI (50 percent, plus or minus 60.5 percent of the amount by which BRI exceeds or falls short of projections); 1 percent of BRI (from the players' share) is used to fund a new pool for post-career benefits. With this change there will be no rollback of salaries.
Revenue Sharing
A new plan approximately triples the amount of money that is revenue-shared.
Escrow
10 percent withheld in every season. If the escrow withholding is insufficient, the shortfall is taken out of the players' post-career benefits pool. Salaries are not adjusted the following season.
Minimum team salary
Teams must spend at least 85 percent of the cap in 2011-12 and 2012-13, and at least 90 percent of the cap in later years of the agreement.
Now if the NHL proposal of a 54/46 split of HRR contained some of these provision, then maybe a comparison to the NBA might make some sense. But the proposal didn't so there is no comparison.
