The draft and the implications thereof are pretty interesting. Is there any industry besides pro sports where the best talent - multimillion dollar talent - isn't given a choice on where they work for they first several years of their career? Where they are later judged on their "loyalty" or lack thereof to a place they didn't choose?

Good essay by the always thoughtful Kevin Arnovitz here.
