Managers often refer to a lottery phenomenon in the league: who’s the team that signs most surprises, i.e., rookies out of college. The rumored salary for those players is as low as 2000 USD net per month. It sounds resonable considering the low budgets of some clubs.
Small Budget Clubs
As small budget clubs I count all those clubs where it is known that they only have a budget just above the Bundesliga’s minimum budget or where there are still some doubts in the licencing process for 2009/2010.
Walter Tigers Tübingen surprised many as they only got their licence under a resolutive condition. It was generally known that they played with a small budget, but that they were not able to show 40 % of their sponsorship contracts by end of May came as a surprise.
Additionally coach Öngören was released just after the end of the season. A newspaper wrote that the club was not willing or able to fulfill his requests for a more professional structure.
You actually quoted an article that is 3 years old about player salaries. Is there no end to the depths you will stoop? Quite sad and pathetic. Similar to the digs you took a Burrell a few years back that is now blowing up in your face because of his financial success.
Door #1: Graduate in 4 years, get a chance to play basketball and get paid for it, have an opportunity to keep developing and make more money, see wonderful cities in Europe, etc.
vs
Door #2: Leave college, go to work for former coach as graduate assistant, get arrested and fired along with team player for driving around while drinking and having firearm discharged, etc.
I'll take Door #1 Bob.
But, but, but....what about the arena attendance record????
I know he makes himself an easy target - I like that he needs to dig for 3 year old articles to make a worthless point - but keep beating him to a pulp.

Thanks for the edit, XU95. I did at least use dollar signs, though.
