Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 4155777, member: 730"] Look at the WNBA. They have a draft but the order of the top picks are determined behind closed doors. There's but one reason for doing that and yet not one media entity has commented about it in the entire history of the WNBA draft. Championships are won by teams with superstars who always seem to end up on a few perennially competitve teams. Stars are steered to top teams. And if a star, like Tina Charles or Waylan or Chiney gets drafted by a team like the Sun they are gone within 2 years to a better market. Whether it's college or pro it has been a business for a long long time. Amateur sports? The top student-athletes have been getting private professional training since they were 10. [/QUOTE]
