Yes this was addressed a couple of pages back. The teams have already received this seasons TV money which is paid out over the course of the season. They have not come close to fulfilling their national TV obligations however which accounts for ripoughly 2/3's of the revenue, somewhere in the $500 million dollar range. So this money would be credited back to sponsors for next season if there's no playoffs this year.
