How much is it? I read this (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5285046) article and it makes it sound l like the NFL is grossing $116,666,667 per team in broadcast revenues annually.
($700 million from DirecTV, $1.16 billion from ESPN, $600 million from NBC and another $1.33 billion from CBS/Fox for a total of $3.79 billion. With 32 teams = $116,666,667 per team)
Obviously those numbers aren't exact and I'd think the owners would be smart enough to set the cap at a respectable amount below that to ensure their profit margin, but I honestly have no idea what it is. Anyone know what the cap is? I'm curious what kind of margin these billioinaires are getting.
