By that logic there should be no signing bonuses. After all what have they done to earn it since they have zero experience in pro ball.

This is a labor issue and my point was to show it is absolutely unnecessary financially for these players to be hosed the way they are. A few more crumbs off the table and they can eat better and have a slightly better living arrangement. No one gets rich.

How it gets split is a detail to the point. The money is there and if anyone was looking out for these guys they'd get it and probably a lot more. It is pretty easy to abuse 3,000 individuals that are living a crabs in the bucket life chasing a dream especially when there are another 10,000 standing behind them praying for the chance.
