    Yes. That’s the point. That’s why you use revenue sharing, not profit sharing. You’ve still got the issue of defining revenue but it’s a hell of a lot easier than trying to define profit for a non-profit organization.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

If "minor leagues " are viable start a minor league.
    I’m not sure if it is one of the two articles I linked at the thread start or somewhere else but I read that the head of the NCAA (not gonna look up his name) has asked Congress for a legal framework within which then can do their thing. So, there’s another piece of the puzzle.
    Don't believe everything you think.
