Shedding Light on the Business of Contracts
There has been some debate here and there about the nature of running contracts — the secrecy behind them, and the criteria that affects their size, length, utility and… I think that’s gone far enough.
The CBC (that’s the Canadian version of NBC or the BBC) has an article on 800m World Silver Medalist Gary Reed, and his contract negotiations with Nike Canada. It maintains that Canadians who come through the American collegiate system cash in on those four years of increased visibility in the US, at the bargaining table. A silly criterion if you ask me, but enlightening nonetheless, to hear that folks factor that in… or at least, some folks think the shoe companies factor that in.
