Well Kim, if it is proscribed, then how can NJ or SA make getting Joumana a job part of their recruiting package. Its not like either team is hiding their effort.

Should Stern step in here?

Huh? Where on earth did you get this idea?

That's why I asked the above question, which I don't see you answering.
I still don't believe that's the central point in negotiations, although available opportunities probably are one of the many things they're selling the Kidds on - just as Phoenix would push the local climate and golfing opportunities or LA was a media center when RIck Fox was looking for a new team while hoping to expand his media career. Or a non-jock in a better job market would be told about how good the local real estate prices are and the schools. It's been recognized from the start as one of the things Jersey has to offer over other places, between propinquity to media hub NY and the fact that she already has a media career started there.

However, there's a HUGE difference between selling her on local opportunities and offering to introduce her to people vs the sort of salary cap scams you were asking about in the original post. And those were what I addressed.
