NFL and NFLPA in court over tv revenue deal; NCAA President will have no paid student-athletes on his watch; Ray Evernham sues George Gillett Jr.
February 25, 2011
Judge David Doty has another NFL labor matter in his court
While CBA negotiations were happening in Washington on Thursday, the NFL-NFLPA battle was also going on in a court room in Minneapolis. The NFLPA argued that the NFL failed to negotiate maximum revenue for TV deals for 2009 and 2010 and instead made sure the league would receive $4 billion in revenue in 2011 to protect the NFL during a possible lockout. Of course the NFL denies the NFLPA take on the matter.

The matter is before Judge Doty, after special master Stephen Burbank had sided with the NFL view on the matter.
