What percentage of revenues do the players receive?
Contracts are individually negotiated between players and teams, and several factors control the amount each player can receive. Collectively, the players are guaranteed to receive at least 57% of revenues in salaries & benefits. If it’s ever less, the league cuts a check to the Players Association after the season for distribution to the players. There is also an escrow system that helps to limit the money the players receive to a specific percentage of revenue. See question number 15 for details.
