NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement

Article 12
Revenue Accounting and Calculation of the Salary Cap

Section 1(a)(xv)
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)(xv)

No Double-Counting. No revenue may be included in AR more than once. All intra-company transactions between or among the NFL, any NFL Affiliate, Clubs, and Club Affiliates shall be eliminated in accordance with GAAP (treating all such transactions on a pro forma consolidated basis) (except as provided in Subsection 1(a)(xiii)(J) above) for purposes of calculating AR. For any joint venture, if AR rights are granted to the venture, which in turn pays the NFL or the Clubs for the rights granted, the value of the rights shall only be included in AR once.
