[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 1012248, member: 2426"] Have coaches been interested in the group in the past? Do coaches stay at Memphis if Kentucky offers him double the money and a chance to win championships at a historic school? What about assistant coaches, do they stay at the same school for a long time to build up the "group"? College athletics have been a business for a long time. I don't think it is "doing the right thing by them" to try to prevent someone from reaching for a better opportunity. It sucks if someone else can offer a better opportunity than you, but it happens. Do people stay at their current jobs if they have an opportunity for more money and/or more opportunity to advance their careers elsewhere? Does it harm their work "group" when they leave? Should we tell people that once they start working for a company that they have to stay at that company until they retire to avoid being self-interested and damaging to the group? Everyone should do what is in their own best interest, in college or in the workforce. There are many players who are leaving for very little advancement in money or opportunity. During the "great resignation", I saw people leave for just a few thousand dollars a year that would have been able to get that at their current company if they had only discussed it before accepting another opportunity. I know a few people who later returned to the old company, and a few others who attempted to return but couldn't. It isn't just dollar amount whether college basketball or career. It isn't worth a 10% raise to leave an outstanding culture for a toxic culture. I would say it isn't worth a 5% raise to leave an outstanding culture, even for another good culture. However, whether career or college, it is definitely better to leave if you can get a lot more money and a lot more opportunity. [/QUOTE]
