So basically a lottery ticket but the numbers didn’t hit. This argument is old and tired. The price for players goes up when supply stops exceeding demand. This is true of College and pro ball, it may not be fair but when there ceases to be a list of 10x players that are essentially replaceable parts they will have value.
if it makes you feel better corporate America isn’t a whole lot different, there is just way more competition for talent.

I know very well about Corporate America, lead global application development. Had to develop the first offshore application service delivery model for the company in early 2000. So you can see where this is going.

As for talent, hard to measure, it is more who you know and who is your godfather.
