JETS ARE TOP RECIPIENTS OF NFL REVENUE SHARING PLAN

          Since its creation two years ago, a "little-known fund"
     established by the NFL has been distributing payments to
     seven low-revenue teams, including the Jets and the Bengals,
     from a $24M "reservoir of premium-seat and personal-license
     revenue and relocation fees," according to Richard Sandomir
     of the N.Y. TIMES.  The Jets, who qualify for the fund by
     "underperforming" league averages in revenues, "top the
     list," receiving "at least" $2M a year.  Jets President
     Steve Gutman declined to comment on the report, adding,
     "That's getting into confidentiality."  Sandomir notes what
     separates low-revenue teams from other ones is "mostly what
     they earn" from tickets, advertising, premium seats,
     preseason TV revenue and sponsorships (N.Y. TIMES, 2/26).
