Will we be adopting it at the team level? I certainly wouldn't object to having my jersey/hat/what-have-you subsidizied by Shag, Keekley, et al. This “pay based on performance” idea intrigues me.

Perhaps this will help by way of motivation. "Just because you can, doesnt mean you should." "I think the computer is busted" "You did WHAT?" "Anyone know any good websites with tasteful pictures of Miho Yoshioka?"

“I think the computer is busted”

“You did WHAT?”

I will, therefore, be bringing you $2 every time I show up for a game to defray the costs of keeping me on the team. Go Hoyas! Lou asks "Where does the money go?" .... well, Mr. Not Paying Attention, you might consider who paid for the field grooming and bathroom cleaning the next time you're up at Marshall Terrace. And I don't have to remind you that we are one of the few teams with the honor of playing at a site that sounds like an upper-class condo development. Put that on your dago with some peppers and onions and extra cheese, and some Dave's Nuts ... and ... and ... Zzzzzzzzzzz. Jim:

In the end it's a bit of a reverse bet if the winning teams are subsidizing the teams that are, ahem, more victory challenged. Like "you won, pay up buddy." But I agree that seems like a heck of a rate if you add it up. If you multiply 400 by the number of teams have they ever said where the money goes?
