Revenue Sharing And The Salary Cap In The Nfl: Perfecting The Balance Between Nfl Socialism And Unrestrained Free-Trade, Clay Moorhead

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This note argues that the League must reform the current revenue sharing model in order to correct the widening revenue gap between the lowest and highest revenue teams, which if not adequately addressed soon could severely impair the future popularity and success of the NFL.

Part III establishes how the emergence of unshared "local revenue" has eroded the NFL's collective mentality, thereby causing a variety of problems …
