[QUOTE="senoiajacket, post: 950378, member: 3132"] I don’t have your insight and experience. However, isn’t what is being paid for is an education and baseball is an activity the student-athlete chooses to take part in? Please don’t get me wrong. I appreciate (as best I can based on what I know and have been told) the time, effort, and dedication that the guys on our team put in. As anyone who has been there knows, Tech is not an easy place to get a “higher education” even when you can fully focus on it. I am not opposed to the players being supported with a stipend or some sort of compensation for their efforts, much as a full time student that is also working while in school is compensated. Perhaps that compensation can/should be a standard package across all schools at a certain level? For me, the out right and open bidding war and “buying” of players such as has now happened twice in consecutive years to NCST is quickly destroying the “charm” of the game that I have enjoyed for many years. Again, I understand that the situation is much more complex and beyond just for the enjoyment of the “casual fan” such as myself. [/QUOTE]
