Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 5385517, member: 966"] I hope donor fatigue leads to change, but I don’t know how long That might take. People will disagree on the principle of the matter, people will do things that contradict a theoretical/intellectual principle, and some will just not attach principle to it at all. Public-paid player salaries is novel and people may feel a sense of empowerment by contributing. Gotta wonder how ROI factors into it all. If your team doesn’t do well, or if you don’t like a coach, do you pay in more or less? I reckon those two situations prolly average out. Where is the ceiling, though? Watching games these last few years, the best teams still look like NIT teams of yesteryear. Top ten NBA picks average less than 15ppg in their rookie seasons which seems to indicate that overall top talent is down. So what are people paying for in college? A contextually ‘decent’ product with a standard that is trending down? [/QUOTE]
