Yes even a truly free market can’t fully take opportunity cost into account. There is always an element of fortune telling involved in trying to calculate opportunity cost.

Are networks over paying (full stop)?
In the case of the commercial interests, the market is tested every time the rights are renewed, & that decision is measured by the Financials year on year.
Perhaps the BBL is the best example of the life of a sports product.

It's an interesting juncture for Saint Peter.
Over decades, the AFL has successfully been able to siphon funding away from accelerating player salaries to the broader football economy.
But...in doing so, they created an opportunity for HQ to siphon off money for their own personal gains in the way of executive salaries and bonuses, that are way, way out of whack with what footy's superstars are earning.
Hard to imagine that can remain the case for too long, and in one sense, COVID assisted with a small correction to that trend.
In the NRL's case, they have a history of pissing any surplus cash up the wall, so Saint Peter will be hoping to use his dictatorial powers to turn that around.
But given the NRL spends bugger all on grassroots league and development, the clubs and players are not going to stand for ever increasing cash surpluses that they would view as belonging in their back pocket.

"Siphon" is an emotive word. The AFL makes decisions and carves up the revenue pie.
IMO, the distribution should be more percentage based with percentage funding set for players, clubs, local football, development, savings and overseas football etc

But not way, way out of whack for the size of the business they are operating. You can pay people less, but sometimes that means you get crap candidates. Theres a reason the AFL has got to the point it has and continues to sit on top. Im not saying all the wages are justified but the market for good sporting execs in aus is pretty tight.

Player wages are set on percentages - currently about 27%, although this doesnt include some club and league revenues that were excluded during the negotations for the last CBA. The AFL has committed to spending 10% on development and grassroots.

Yes, but how much in bonuses do you deserve for shooting fish in a barrell?

It looks easy from the outside, but reality is somewhat different.

It sort of is easy.
With sport, once a sport is extremely popular, it's almost impossible to drive down its popularity.
You have to try really, really hard to achieve that, and even then, despite the best efforts of the most incompetent administrators, it's almost impossible to drive down popularity.
So in that context, to get massive bonuses normally reserved for merchant bankers, for an activity that has 150 years of immense societal popularity behind it really is akin to shooting fish in a barrell.

At club level administrators often battle compared to each other.
The AFL is the best resourced of our sports courtesy of those administrators that went before them.
