[QUOTE="steeleer, post: 130615112, member: 1484359"] Try appropriate. Not all these guys are getting a 22mil bonus. I get a sign on bonus. If I leave before my contract is up...I pay the prorated portion back. Is that easier to wrap your head around? You would be leaving a job before it’s completion where you were compensated based on completing that job (that scholarship doesn’t end in January....I guess it could, but that’s not the intent when that athlete signs.) Bailing on your team before a CFP game would be screwing over your employer in a major way. Again, don’t give a crap about lower tier bowls....however those big games could be million dollar deals for the school and its conference. I’m promoting paying the players for Christ’s sake! There is something to be said for committing to something and completing that task. Coaches leave all the time, but the standard now is that they pay a buy out in order to leave...this is not different. [/QUOTE]
