[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 896956, member: 322"] [USER=5007]@eokerholm[/USER] thanks for contributing so much. Loyalty has to go both ways; both up and down the organizational chain. When it breaks down either way, both ways fail. Look at the US military where there is loyalty both ways (generally) and look at the Russian military where the kids have no idea where and why and what they are doing. For college baseball, I agree that the free transfer (good thing for students) and NIL (good thing for students) along with the COVID exemption year all came together and blew apart the old fabric of loyalty. The loyalty mirror is broken and I don't see it getting put back. I think to some extent the massive over signing and transfers will calm down since over signing the schools will get a bad rep and for transfers kids will see how few actually upgrade when and if they land at a new school. Many of the kids transferring are going to be disappointed since the COVID year has led to a bulge in athletes for the next year and the lowered roster limit of 35. But I don't see the NIL calming down; I expect it to get worse since more NIL will lead to a better team and encourage more NIL. Positive feedback. The GT advantage will continue to be the education with future income potential coupled with students recognition of how few make a lucrative MLB career. The minors are basically subsistence pay from which few escape. At least that is my naïve hope. Go Christian! [/QUOTE]
