My understanding is that they're arguing on 2 points:

1. Which revenues should be included in total football revenues, AND what % of these should go to the players.

2. Which revenues should be shared between teams.

While #2 seems more of an internal matter, #1 will have a more direct effect on the cap. I don't see the players agreeing to anything unless they get a real raise in dollar terms. So simply increasing the pie won't be enough. The new % of the new pie will have to represent a raise over the current % of the current pie.

So under this assumption, I'd expect a new CBA to allocate more dollars directly to the players, which in turn would raise the salary cap.
