Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5157837, member: 44"] This. I think many on this board are holding onto this notion of loyalty, team, student athlete, etc., which simply doesn't exist anymore. The new model is a mercenary free agency approach which most often is optimized by adhering to self interest only. Now, sometimes, players may appear to have loyalty to their coaches or to their institutions and, God bless them if that's true, but you will forgive me if I think that an unpublicized NIL deal may often be behind those decisions. That's the new normal. The sooner you embrace that, the sooner you spare yourself a whole lot of heartache and indignation. [/QUOTE]
