Probably Bettman's biggest mistake. The players should be building a shrine for him.

If the player's are building him a shrine the owners are building him a temple.

The old CBA the players received 57 percent of league revenue. Now the owners and players split 50-50. The owners welcome a higher cap, for the most part, since it's a result of higher revenue. They are making out just as good. And it wasn't like the players would have stuck with an unchanging cap after the latest lockout.
