Message: [QUOTE="bmayuc, post: 3157178, member: 493"] I'd just like to post a theory if and when this comes to pass. Given the enormous sneaker/apparrel contracts that are getting handed out to top draft picks now, I bet you are going to see sneaker companies pony up a lot of dough for everyone in the top 15-50 very early. Like Mid-Teens early. Rather than wait until PROSPECTX gets to the draft and you have to give him 5-10m a year, I bet the Nike/Adidas will start sponsoring kids at $250-500k/yr for 4-6 years starting when they are 15-16. Making low-cost, high-upside bets on who turns out to be a superstar will make a lot of economic sense. [/QUOTE]
