Regarding the 'Suck Tax'

[DTP]

Or you can buy a used 1986 Pontiac Fiero, and then bolt on a Ferrari conversion kit.

This Might Just Be The Worst Ferrari Replica Known To Humankind

We've seen some awful Ferrari replicas before, but this one - which is supposed to be an Enzo - is on another level

It's not just another garbage Pontiac with a faux-rrari body kit. It's a friggin' Enzo Fiero. That thing is one of a kind.

I've seen this mentioned a bunch of times and I've alluded to having to pay a premium going back as far as last year.

Is the problem that we could pay above what others offer, a premium, but there's a limit to that as well?

What I mean by this is that the war chest has largely been unused this year as we see premier prospects pick everyone but us. That would then mean we could offer even more as the list of available guys we want is thin.

The idea then is to throw the **** chest at those that are left on the board. So that brings me to my statement of a limit.

You pay these new guys a **** load of money, enough to steer then here, then what? Is that going to set a precedent for future classes? Next year you've gotta pay up again.

What about those on the roster who are starting ahead of them as the new costly recruits ride the pine getting their feet wet. Would there be discontent and resenrment from the players ahead of them, then the demands start coming from them? Basically it starts a chain reaction of events with some saying you won't pay me that, I'm getting mine elsewhere?

It's a tricky situation I'd think. I know we aren't at the top of the game financially, but if we thought we could get more than we have, the money is still there. Suck Tax makes sense on the surface, but dive deeper and maybe there's some problems that come with that.

I heard they threw the war chest at one of the premier guys we wanted….missed the guy , the chest hit the ground and broke into pieces.Guy picked up what he needed and headed elsewhere…now we keeping our money in bags cause they’re easier to throw

The people putting up the money for the most part didn’t come by it investing in things that didn’t bring decent returns.

Could it be these same people that gladly put up the money last yr with all the hoopla surrounding Mario the Savior and then saw all their money end up in a 5-7 return including an asswhooping by MTSU and said hold up let’s wait and see if we get a return on the money we just doled out.

We keep hearing that the money is there…well maybe it is but maybe it’s being held onto a little tighter waiting to see if Mario is the Savior or if all the hoopla is just that…more of the same hoopla of the last 20 years.

I always thought we had a bunch of Bentley driving play boys in this board, time to open your wallets.
