Apparently the University of Michigan is learning the hard way that when you hire a mercenary, that mercenary will leave you for a bigger paycheck. Dusty May is going to the NBA, where I'm guessing he's going to learn the hard way that with a salary cap, you can't just buy your players.
Now when I was a student at Michigan State, we did read The Prince, in which Machiavelli warns princes against relying too strongly on mercenaries for this very reason. Just sayin'. It's only been in print for 513 years, so maybe someday, it'll reach Ann Arbor.
And along those lines, again, if the NCAA wants to have any semblance of real competition in their sports, athletics, and games, they're going to need to implement salary caps and restrictions on how often athletes, sportsmen, and game-players can transfer.
