Having said that. One Sirius announcer (maybe it was Andrew Brandt in an interview with Tucker) said if that is the big issue, have an independent auditor come in, make "blind" copies of the books and give 3 sample sets (ie low -, mid -, and hi-revenue teams) for both sides to use in negotiations.

This is not a bad idea. It might be interesting to know which teams are considered to be low, mid, and hi revenue teams, or who the owners figure to be low, med, and high.
