I see that and Escrow being tied together...

Everyone knows the players want Escrow gone... and the owners ideally want to move the needle to more than 50/50.

I think if the players decide they want Escrow gone enough to opt out, then I think the owners response is, "Fine, but we're now doing a 57/43 split (or whatever the numbers are). And no more artificial escalator..."

On the other hand, if the players don't opt out, I can't see the owners opting out just to get a bigger share of the pie. Just makes them look too greedy.

Of course, I could be wrong...

Either way, unless there's a larger change in the system, I also don't know if we're going to see compliance buyouts this time.
