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.

Shortly after the hurricane struck, our scientists, through our Rapid Response program, began to conduct research to understand how Harvey has impacted the coast and offshore Gulf of Mexico. This research will help determine the best ways to deal with many coastal issues in the aftermath of the storm, and how we might better prepare for such events in the future.

Moses Malone famously made the jump from high school in 1974, and more recently Shawn Kemp experienced early success after joining the NBA in 1989 without college basketball experience. In 1995, however, Kevin Garnett was selected fifth overall in the NBA draft and sparked the modern trend of bypassing college. Part of the reason behind his selection directly from high school was the new NBA collective bargaining agreement that forced rookies to sign under a slotted pay scale for three years rather than negotiate contracts. As Groothuis, Hill, and Perri (2007) suggest, teams could now pay players beneath their marginal revenue product for their first few years in the league and recoup any costs spent for on-the-job training and development.1 Sports journalists jumped on Kevin Garnett’s success story, and standout high school players began to follow his lead after witnessing his immediate impact in the league.
