With Salaries linked to dollars the sports leagues will survive at least until stadiums and arenas fail. So the current model is sustainable for at least 50 years.
Franchise values may have peaked and owners who debt finance team purchases might get themselves into trouble but other rich people will swoop in to buy with cash at reduced cost.
So the model isn't really broken at all. The dollar values might change and escrow payments rise and caps fall but none of this affects the viability of these teams.
