But, if a tech startup is poaching some upstart genius college sophomore, how much of what he's getting paid is hinging on the marketability to the outside world he was able to establish by being at that college for the time he was there?
the opportunity cost to be there was covered when he paid tuition or earned a scholarship.
we arent really talking about the opportunity, we are really looking at the value and ownership of a unique ability or a valuable productivity

But a huge part of that value for an athlete in a professional team sport hinges on maximizing the value of others who are playing that sport as well. Therefore, there should be a strong desire to ensure the continued maximization of the collective value. I'd argue Fournette's present value is best maximized by the present system in place. I've yet to see a good argument that would show upending that system would create something of greater value in the present or the long run.
