Outside of the potential looking in… you wouldn’t turn down the money (not you specifically, but the argument)

You ever heard the story of the guy who goes in a bar and buys drinks for a girl all night. And when it is time to go she goes home with another guy? This is what recruiting has become. Wine and dine and offer your best, only to have them leave with someone else. I know that this analogy is off a bit but. They can just use you to drive up the bid.

College players are in for a rude awakening when they discover they can't change teams every year and put their services up for bid.


Other than the guaranteed rookie deals, I don't think there is anything preventing a player from putting their services up for bid, annually, with 1 year deals.

It's just no longer as lucrative in the pros becuase players want the guaranteed money in case of injury.

Back in the day we only had professionals like Master P advising players when they went pro.
