I realize that player contracts and coaching contracts have relevance with each other. But I don't like it as the easy out argument. It just derails the conversation.
I have employees that, by policy, need to give 2 weeks notice to get their PTO paid. I have employees that, by policy, need to give 30 days notice to get their PTO paid.
Why? Because different levels of employ have different expectations/requirements.
We're not some big commune.
It has to do with ease of replacement, impact on the business, etc.
EDIT:: How much does that player, who got a full year of education, room, board, and living paid for have to pay back? How much did they contribute to the revenues sitting on the bench? It takes most players 2 years to make any meaningful impact on the field and, subsequently, the team revenues. Maybe they can transfer if they agree to pay back the thousands of dollars in college expenses they got for free.
