I am not sure why you are using 2011. That was just the last negotiations. Knowing what players got before 1968 is like doing alternative history. It was a different world back then. Baseball was the #1 sport not the NFL. Now the NFL is #1. Since '68 billions of dollars of TV money has come into the game which has completely changed everything. Owners and players have become wealthy off of it.
