Yeah I'm aware that those numbers would bankrupt the league today. I hope that when the current TV contract expires, they will be able to reach a new deal where each team receives roughly 7-8 million. $7 million divided by 52 players is roughly $135,000 each. This TV money can go directly to paying players, while the owners would then be able to use all ticket sales, merchandise, concessions, and sponsorship money to pay out coaches, admin, marketing, travel, etc. They can then bank any profit whatever it may be.
