Sorry for multiple posts, but I wanted to respond directly to this.  This is not at all what I'm saying.  I'm not saying that Syracuse is unscrupulous, or that GMac was forced to do anything.  I agree he made a choice within the confines of the world in which he existed.  What I am saying is that those choices depend on the rules, and that the rules are unjust.

To take another example, professional baseball for years had a reserve clause that massively depressed player salaries.  Each of the players who signed a contract were making a choice - they didn't have to play baseball, they could have played internationally instead, whatever.  They were all, in a very real sense, making a choice.  They didn't have to be professional baseball players!  Much of what they earned came from being on the Yankees or the Dodgers, rather than from their own talent.  But the system changed.  And it was an unjust system then.  Undoubtedly, many of the people supporting it were arguing that the players were making a choice, that they were free to leave whenever they wanted.
