Steelers, Rooney Vote On NFL Revenue-Sharing Agreement

The NFL commissioner thinks the league could dissolve into a free-for-all, favoring big markets over the small, which would ruin its competitive balance if a system is not worked out soon.

On Monday, Pittsburgh Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney reluctantly voted for a revenue-sharing agreement, a pool designed for the Top 15 grossing teams in the league to contribute as much as $430 million over the next three years to preserve the parity in the NFL.

The Steelers fall into the category to contribute.

The agreement passed by a vote of 30-2. Only the Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars voted against it.

Being toward the bottom of the 15 highest grossing teams, WTAE Channel 4's news exchange partners at the Tribune Review reported the Steelers are concerned the system could develop a gap between the top and bottom teams that have to pay into the revenue-sharing pool.
