It's going to be a little different now than the Wild West.

I know that may sound naive, but players now will have hundreds of thousands coming to them legally. They would have to consider the possibility that under the table bags of cash might end up ruling them ineligible and therefore lose access to the legal hundreds of thousands they would otherwise be making. Because I guarantee you player eligibility and availability will be a very hard requirement in a contract for receipt of salary.
