One of the reasons the NFL doesn't have a huge imbalance issue is because most of the revenue for NFL teams comes from the TV deals. And every team gets the same amount.

Canadian teams get more "real" money out of this deal than US teams. There's something called "invasion fees" reported in the deal. I don't understand how they work, but one report suggested that Canadian teams get to split 35% of the proceeds of this deal, while the US teams get to split 65% of the proceeds of this deal. This is the real dollars, of course. HRR should go up by the proceeds/30 for each team as I understand it.
