ARTICLES It’s Not About the Money: THE ROLE OF PREFERENCES, COGNITIVE BIASES, AND HEURISTICS AMONG PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES Michael A. McCann† I. INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.

  • No. 17 St. Joseph's Beats No. 10 Gonzaga in Marquee MSG Matchup
    No. 17 St. Joseph's beats No. 10 Gonzaga in Marquee MSG Match­Up All­America Nelson scores 20 as Hawk Hill takes over the Garden box score NEW YORK (AP) ­­ Jameer Nelson lived up to the billing. Jameer Nelson handled all the hype with 20 points for Saint Joseph's. The second­leading vote­getter on the AP's preseason All­ America team had 20 points, eight rebounds, 10 assists and a ton of oohs and aahs in leading No. 17 Saint Joseph's to a 73­66 victory over No. 10 Gonzaga in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic on Friday night. The senior guard struggled with his shot in the first half but more than made up for it in the second, seeming to come up with every big play the Hawks needed in the teams' season opener. "People roll their eyes when I self­promote our kids, but he's the best in America because he leads and he believes the reason you play basketball is to make your team win," Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli said. Nelson's best sequence came when he drew a charge at midcourt, then took the inbounds pass and made a drive through traffic that left the crowd of 10,328 at Madison Square Garden standing and cheering. "It was great, probably the best game of this season so far," Nelson said, adding comedian to his other talents. More than 4,000 Saint Joseph's fans bought tickets and they turned the building in New York into Philadelphia's Hawk Hill for a night.
