Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 4985376, member: 504"] I had used the term “diamond in the rough”. Anyway, i’m not so sure how the financial feasibility is calculated now into recruiting related budgets. You have a lot of staff time and money regarding every recruit and a state school is giving an out of stater 40 to 60 thousand worth of value and the privates 55000 and more a year. Is that money well spent on a player who leaves for more return after a year or two? Do they now have to include some sort of new loss factor into the budget? We might well be headed to employee status. The coaches are under contract already. One of the arguments Pfor the revenue athletes has been that they, unlike other students, bring money in so should be compensated. They are now able to trade on their names. The players being perpetual free agents might not be sustainable or good for the sport. [/QUOTE]
