If you apply full free market concepts, there should be no union, no salary cap, and the leagues would be only a sports regulator, everyone sells TV rights for their own.
In that case scenario, happens what is it in almost every sport outside USA, there are a few successful teams, and others that only exists. Who own those teams? Rich people that wants to own a team, not to make profit.
What should have a good CBA? I think:
* minimum salaries
* maximum work burdens (games, OTA's, etc)
* health protection
* salary protection
* salary scale for rookies
* free agency rules
* salary cap according to profits
But that's pretty much what was last CBA. What is that owners want? More risk-free money. What??!!!! Hey an entrepreneur is exactly the opposite, someone that can risk his own money to make profits.
In this, I'm on players side (I don't think they are totally right thou).
PS: I have a master in business, I own a small company, I'm not a union man. I can make profits without a risk-free CBA.
