I was wondering who was going to out themselves as a Trek Geek and make that comment. Though I suppose I've just done the same thing by remarking on it. *Legion* says:

As it stands, I don't think college players take any lesson away from this situation. Here's why: Coming out of college these guys are thinking (and being advised by agents with financial interest, and nothing to lose) "Hey, if I speak up now then I drop my draft stock, and get drafted for a lower wage. But if I keep quiet about it then I lose out on a couple paychecks early, and maybe some playing time but that's about it." The $$ lost when the crime is later discovered is still likely much less than what the player would lose if they came out and publicly admitted their crime. As long as they stay quiet teams can still draft them high without having to answer any ethical questions to the public. As it stands now, it simply doesn't make financial sense for the college player, and the team drafting them loses out as well. Mike, I disagree with your stance on this.
