Cowboys’ Jerry Jones Defends NFL’s Broadcast Revenue Model in Court.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones testified to a jury that the NFL’s broadcast revenue-sharing model promotes competition, despite having referred to the league as a “price-fixing cartel” three decades ago.
Jones explained that without the even distribution of media rights revenue, wealthy teams like the Cowboys — the NFL’s most valuable franchise — would dominate consistently by using their greater financial resources to acquire top players.
