[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 945520, member: 844"] This is a great question but I think we (the readers) will need to answer from the perspective of work as I don't think we have any college athletes on this board who have played under the new structure or any former professional athletes who contribute. From my perspective, I have worked in a variety of organizations. Probably the most enjoyment I ever received from my career was being a part of a tight knit, highly effective team environment. This spilled over into a lot of fraternizing/socializing outside of work. With that being said, I have also worked in an organization with this type of vibe: [MEDIA=youtube]sgkSyjmn19Q[/MEDIA] people showed up to work, did their jobs, went home. There wasn't much of a "family" or "team environment" at all. Did it work? Yes, because the men and women I worked with were very talented and professional and dedicated to their craft. So, to your point, I think a "mercenary" approach CAN work given that you have enough talent, professionalism and maturity so that people don't need any sort of external motivation. Can it work for a group of 18 - 21 year old boys/young men? Remains to be seen as you suggest. I am curious to what others have to say on this topic as it IS definitely a new paradigm. [/QUOTE]
