darren rovell covers the business of sports for cnbc. he's with us from atlanta where the owners are meeting, and darren, what can you tell us? >> reporter: good evening, brian. for 132 days the owners locked out the players in the nfl, but at 7:00 eastern time today in atlanta the owners voted 31-0 to ratify the new collective bargaining agreement. that brings it back to the players who in washington, d.c. will have a conference call to vote whether they will now drop the antitrust litigation and then recertify so that they can have a settlement, and they could then vote on a new collective bargaining agreement. a lot of money on the line if they don't get it done in the next 48 hours. they will lose at least one preseason game, and then if they don't get it done in the next week, it would be $200 million on the line for eareseason week lost, but it looks pretty good as one side, the owners, have ratified a new collective bargaining agreement. now they will throw it back to the players to s see if we'll he a season. brian? >> darren rove

this has been a drawn-out process and cnbc's darren rovell joins us live with more on this.down. what happens? do the teams go to work? >> yes, what happens is that they will be allowed to the facilities tomorrow. also, the teams can also talk to free agents tomorrow, although they can't sign anyone until 6:00 p.m. friday. and then the teams will in a staggered way go to training camp thursday, friday,ç saturd, sunday, and of course, we have missed one game or will miss one game, and that is the august 7th hall of fame game. but the first week of preseason has been saved and $200 million worth of games. >> darren, what was the sticking point of the last go around that needed to be pushed through? >> well, there was no major sticking point, but all about trying to get a last-minute negotiation, and the one thing that was talked about is how hard it would be for the guys to reunionize. which doesn't seem too much of an issue. the result so that this is a ten-year deal, and also talk that the players wanted to get out at year seven they will not be able to, because it is a ten

cnbc's darren rovell is there where owners could sign off on a plan today. what are the chances?s is extremely complicated because owners could sign off. all 32 owners are here and 24 would have to ratify a deal. yesterday, we expected the players to sign off a deal and owners come out this afternoon and say a deal is done after 130 so days. the issue is there's a lot of issues left. while most of the deal has been done, we have an an anti-trust lawsuit by the players still not been dropped. two players insisting they either want free agency for $10 million to settle that. also $320 million in player benefits up in the air and $4 billion in tv money that with the lock-out insurance money the owners were going to get. a couple little issues to settle. again, we expected the players to vote on this yesterday. they didn't. let's hope the honers vote on it. there is one thing on the line for the first time ever, that is the hall of fame game august 7th. sources are telling me, it will be extremely tough to play that game if they don't get a deal done today, $1.3 million insignificant

darren rovell has more on that. >> reporter: as owners and players draw closer to a collective bargainingagreement, people in san francisco are keeping their eyes pealed as far as not only the season but of course a potential new stadium in santa clara. you work in the 49ers. need the funding to come along with this collective bargaining agreement as well as the assurance that there will be labor peace for the next ten years, which is the length of the deal. obviously it's been a very long work stoppage, 132 days, not only will it be good for fans who want to cheer on the 49ers when we get back to the season but good for fans for the future and where they might be sitting when they watch the 49ers. that could be in santa clara, thanks to a boost with the new cba. back to you. >> thank you, darren. one other note, we spoke to a san francisco 49er who says the players are not on the owners time line and feel the nfl is using the media to try to force the players into a deal. so obviously there is still a lot more work to do before this deal is finalized. jessica and raj? >> i'm not going to
