NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement

Article 12
Revenue Accounting and Calculation of the Salary Cap

Section 1(a)(vi)(4)
All Revenues

For purposes of this Article, and anywhere else stated in this Agreement, revenues shall be accounted for in the manner set forth below.

(a)(vi)(4)

PSL revenues shall be reported net of actual refunds made in the year for which such revenues are reported. If an amount has been refunded, then the refunded amount shall be deducted from PSL revenues used in the calculation of AR. If there is a non-contingent contractual commitment to refund, but the refund is to be made at a later date, then the only amount included is the Interest on the refund. Otherwise, all amounts are included regardless of any refund contingencies. If a refund contingency occurs and money previously included as PSL revenue is refunded, the NFL shall receive a credit against AR (i.e., League-wide AR shall be reduced) in the amount of the refund the next League Year.
