I'm still amazed that with the potential money involved that competitors are even tempted, if they're on full contracts.
$1.15 million minimum for a rookie? A 10 year vet making a minimum of $3.3 million? How much could they make shaving to be worth the potential penalty?
But, we've seen individual athletes dump just because they'd prefer to go home. So, we never know wuth those sports.
