In what other industry are people screaming, "Hand this person millions of dollars, despite having done nothing to show he's qualified?" The answer is none. In every other profession you prove yourself in some way before getting the big payday. In basketball it's in lower level professional leagues or college. There's nothing wrong with someone having to work for peanuts (peanuts being an education worth more than the national median income or at least a six figure income over seas) before cashing in on a massive payday at the age of 19. 2. Maybe you can't think of one economic reason (it's interesting you chose to boil down to only economics by the way), but not all reasons have to be economic. I know that some people thing economics rule all. I believe that is not the case. [/QUOTE]
