their tuition, room and board as unskilled non-educated 18-22 year olds and would have to find another school. The high level players would find takers if they agreed to never pull a stunt like that again. The bench riders would have to look for student loans to pay their tuition. They would be out of work. The larger point is it would never happen so it's a straw man argument.

WAR or Wins Above Replacement is a great concept. Small market MLB teams in baseball that don't have unlimited budgets to buy and trade players, use it to remain competitive. The Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Indians are solid examples of the validity of the approach.

If all Notre Dame needs is a bunch of 2-3 star guys, maybe Tyrone Willingham should be brought in as a consultant. As I recall. he was great at identifying guys to fill a roster and not so good at getting the star guys. How did that turn out?
