Message: [QUOTE="All4SU, post: 136069, member: 381"] So if I understand your argument, you advocating having players negotiate their own contracts -- e.g. Fab Melo gets $X...Triche gets 1/2 $X...Southerland gets 1/8 $X, etc. Players negotiate (presumably with agents) ...negotiations mean sitting out when negotiations fail. Players will be unhappy because they aren't getting what other players get on their same teams. Coaches will have less influence (for lack of a better word) over player performance, because these players answer to their contracts, not their coaches. Free agency comes next. Guys will play for SU on season, then for Georgetown the next. You can't deprive a player the opportunity to earn a living someplace else if that's what he wants. Players unions. Even higher ticket prices, to accommodate increases in player salaries. This is the model you want? [/QUOTE]
