Ffs I’m not blaming the agents I’m saying they are the winners here hands down and are not helping.  You must be in the commission game with this take. How many kids have gotten paid making a move that basically reduced their future earning potential? Do some kids make out better in this model ? Sure. You are looking at this from the top of the market standpoint and with a short term lens. Structure is what is best for all involved. Unless you are going to try and tell me all this money is being well spent and saved because 18-22 year olds have a strong foundation in financial management…

It’s a saturated market that does not have unlimited funding. The incentive to improve and develop has already taken a step back. The one place we agree is structure is necessary. If that’s an employment model then so be it. This model is not in anyone’s best interest long term.

In the bigger long term picture the athletes aren’t winning either. Short term ? Fine - they are making bank for a couple years if they are top of the market. As for a strawman ? lol no. Not even in the ballpark with that- not to mention it’s the favorite fallacy to try and call out on here that hardly ever is used properly.
