Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 3420505, member: 3517"] Another thing this would do is de-value recruiting. If you have a coaching staff that can identify under the radar guys and you aren’t a blue blood then you’re just setting yourself up for losing guys. I guess with Hurley as our coach I would like our chances of keeping recruits because guys generally seem to respect coach and want to play for him. One thing about college sports that I like more than professional is that there is some loyalty to a school or program (even if it is slightly forced by the transfer rules). If this gets pushed through they might as well make it the NBA, pay the players and allow trades as well. Most of the schools will end up not having b-ball programs as only the top 30-40 schools will have enough $$ to thrive and sustain their programs. Like most “free markets” the rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer and there will be not much in the middle. [/QUOTE]
