[QUOTE="senoiajacket, post: 800928, member: 3132"] Will (how much) will this change players focus? Previously (at Tech anyway) their two main focuses were (1) their sport (2) staying academically eligible, or less cynically, advancing towards a degree. Now there is a third priority with an "instant gratification" angle. Will athletes be able to hire agents that can negotiate and manage deals for them? Will coaches (realistically) have any ability to "limit" the amount of time an athlete spends (especially in season) chasing endorsement deals? Sure, the can't miss NFLers might play the "long game", understanding that in the end they can make potentially far more money by increasing their NFL prospects in college than by chasing "chump change" endorsement deals. But what about the marginal NFL prospects? Am I thinking about this right? It fundamentally sets up a "competition" for each individual between "will I put myself first or my team first". That competition has always existed in one form on another, but now it is elevated to new levels as a result of the "root of all evil" being introduced into the decision making process. [/QUOTE]
