There is no cap to this madness. Think of the Yankees, or any of the rich teams, signing a high dollar free agent that doesn't pan out. No problem, sign another one. If a small market teams go after a big fish, he better pay off in a big way. At least Tech isn't at the bottom tier now. So we have a chance to compete. ** Edited by crazylane at 12/4/2025, 11:45:40 AM
