Ah....we essentially know two of four basic variables, all of which are dependent. They tell us the overall pot is worth $9 billion. We know that the players pool is worth about 4.5 billion. The other two vary directly with one another. All I asked was what you thought was a fair amount for one remaining variable.
It is really a very easy, very direct, very discussable question. I'm not asking you to verify the numbers.
a+b+c=$9 billion
a=player compensation=$4.5 billion
b=owners "take"
c=expenses
I've asked you to tell me what $(b/32) you think is fair. It presupposes that everything else is properly part of c.
If actual (b/32) > your acceptable (b/32), then perhaps "a" should be increased.
If actual (b/32) < your acceptable (b/32), then perhaps "a" should be decreased.
