Message: [QUOTE="MexicoHusky, post: 4309922, member: 6438"] Those are good questions. I'm not sure I have the answers. I don't think anyone does yet. It also seems like JC is thinking some of the same thoughts. I don't think he used the words "legal" and "regulated" by accident. I think you can ask the same questions about professional players. Why doesn't a professional athlete act like a fool (make loud bird noises) to get out of a contract. The NCAA may have to behave like a professional league in some capacity. I think professional teams have some recourse if an opposing team undermines a contract with one of their current players. For example, if the Lakers want to sign a player from an opposing team I don't think they can work with that player to undermine their current contract. If the player refused to practice with their current team, behaved like a fool, undermined the team to the point they get released. Then signs immediately with the Lakers and its determined the Lakers were somehow aware or involved with the plan to get released. I think the Lakers would be legally liable. In general, the NCAA universities may need to learn some lessons from professional leagues. How do professional leagues deal with the issues you bring up? [/QUOTE]
