Yep and it will eat itself.

I would think many schools will end up cancelling the sport, particularly mids and smalls.

Lol good luck finding literal children to not abandon their handshake principle when millions of dollars they're only going to be able to earn like this for a short time in their lives are at stake.

It should but not in today's world. And I can't really fault the guy, he saw an opportunity to line his pockets and took it. I also won't hold it against schools that drop a player for whatever reason, it's just business now in every sense of the word.

I agree. there will be some type of market of correction. not denying that. but its where we are.

 

[BreatheUT]

I swear that every frigging new apartment complex adds more and more time to your route to pickup kids from school. The car lines on the street are so long that you wonder if it is a car accident. Where are all these folks coming from?

yeah, every business person alive today would do the same thing. someone offers you more money than your current employer you are a fool to turn it down.

Yep. Players need to make hay while the suns shinning because I think in a few years things will be changed and not in their favor.

Said folks are coming from more expensive places to live and flocking to a lively city with lots of new residential development.

Would not be shocked to see contractual regulations that are similar to that of professional leagues.

I understand how you feel about it, I think it's a d!ck move too but I don't hold it against him. Guy could blow out a knee 1st game and never play again so make all ya can while ya can. Team is now just the guys you're playing with today.

I don't think it's as much a dick move as it is a pragmatic one. I don't think he wanted to hurt anybody in the process. Hell, I'd question his intelligence if he didn't leverage.

If anything, he's learning how the world works right now.
