Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 2328948, member: 2133"] Apparently such a market exists, or have you not been paying attention to the the news of the last 7 days? Bowen wasn't the only cat who got a $150k promise to play ball. Because the market is under the table, the athletes are at a disadvantage - they effectively have no rights. People wonder why NCAA players don't go to the G-League or overseas? The money is probably just as good or better in the NCAA, but they lack labor rights. It's a system designed to take advantage of people with a short career and fantastical goals. And it does a helluva stroke of business. Multiple leagues can't be set up due to existing monopolies. I can't just start a new league tomorrow or start a team and tell the NBA that I've scheduled the Warriors to play my team on October 30th. [/QUOTE]
