1977 RESOLUTION (FINANCE) (OCTOBER 13, 1977)

Resolved, that the National Football League be hereby authorized to continue to receive network television revenues and postseason game proceeds as agent for and on behalf of the member clubs of the League and to disburse such funds on their behalf, without further action on their part, for the following purposes:

1. To pay on behalf of each of the member clubs to the Management Council from time to time those amounts necessary to satisfy the obligations of the clubs under the Stipulation and Settlement Agreement;

2. To make payments on behalf of each of the member clubs to the Player Insurance Trust and the Player Retirement Plan at such times and in such amounts as are necessary to satisfy the obligations of each member club as established in the 1977 Collective Bargaining Agreement and any future collective bargaining agreements. The clubs intend that, consistent with past practice, there shall be allocated to each club postseason game income in an amount equal to such club’s share of the contribution to the Player Benefit Plan, so that the cost of the plans will be borne equally by each club (except that proper credit shall be given to Tampa Bay and Seattle for the pension contribution allocable to the 1974 and 1975 seasons); and 3. To meet expenses of postseason games.

All network television revenues and postseason game proceeds received hereunder by (the League treasurer) as agent for the member clubs which are not required for the foregoing purposes shall be promptly disbursed to the member clubs. This resolution shall remain in effect until amended or revoked by the member clubs of the National Football League.

the Player Retirement Plan and Player Insurance Trust, such allocable share to be determined in a manner consistent with past practice. Further Resolved, that the October 13, 1977 resolutions regarding

postseason game income are hereby superseded to the extent inconsistent with the foregoing resolution, and are otherwise reaffirmed.

3. Each visiting club shall have the exclusive right to permit or license a telecast of the game being played back to the home territory of the visiting club.
