. >> absolutely. >> than the n.b.a. players in the sense that the risks are greater, the careers, i guess, are shorter. the pay is not quite as much. >> that's true. i've always been a little more sip theltic to the players and as sally mentioned, with the n.b.a., it's a situation much like baseball in the early to mid-90s the players were being asked to make concessions to ownership because ownership h been unable toontrol hits and its spending. so allf a sudden they're turning to players and ying "we don't want to give you 57%, let's name a 50-50 cut, let's put a cap on salaries, let's get you to help us try and control our own incredible spending." >> hunt: but is there concern that the n.b.a. has now turned into pretty much of a big market rich team dominated by those clubs that exceed the cap by a lo it's not a very competitive league. >> no, it's not. one of the interesting things about this n.b.a. fina was everyby pitted this as the rich miami heat with all the superstar players against an upstart team with a bunch of ag

currently the players make about 57%. to more of a 50-50 split. even within that it's a redefined revenueç kol that they want to split 50-50. what the players are saying is, look, over the course of ten years, which is the length of the agreement that the owners want by the end of it the players are saying they would actually be below 40% compared to where they are today. so there's really a huge divide on both of these issues right now. >> woodruff: howard beck, i was reading that the owners are saying most. teams right now are losing money. can they prove that and how big a factor is that? >> the nba has been very open with its books. this is one of the other differences between the two leagues. the nfl players association has been asking nfl owners for? some kind of transparency which the nfl has largely resisted. the nba owners say, hey, look we have presented our auditeded financials for all 30 teams. the playerss have seen the same numbers we've seen. it's become a debate over what is included. so, you know, the n

the players get paid very little in the preseason, so there's not the same sense of urgency on the players three -- several outstanding issues from the players point of view, two of them involve lawsuits, and one of them involves workers comp. >> let me ask you about that preseason. my understanding is that the hall of fame game between the st. louis rams and the chicago bears on august 7th, that's already dead now. that was announced, despite this deal, that's gone. that's bad news for those fans. >> i've also heard -- i've also heard -- my sources tell me that there are higher-ups in the chicago organization who say we can get a preseason game together in two days. we don't need this deadline six weeks ahead of time. so all this remains to be seen. >> you talk about the preseason. i would guess that one of the other things on the players -- you're saying they're not paid much for preseason games. the owners make a ton of money for it. and a lot of players would say, look, i don't want to get injured in a preseason game. that's not where my bacon is made. any time i can delay that or avoi
