I’ve also been thinking this is the way.
However, the PA is too dumb to understand escrow so I doubt they’d be able to figure out how essentially a revenue sharing model would work for their pay. I would keep it simple, pay for the 2023-24 season is based on the revenue from 2022-2023, etc. This way at least everyone knows what they’re getting paid for the services they’re about to perform in the upcoming season. The owners get to sit on their profits for a bit until they pay it back out. In the case of going into a massive loss of revenue again, it doesn’t hurt the players paychecks until the following year.
