After reading previous posts discussing player start-up costs and monthly fees I was wondering how teams handle situations when a player leaves while still owing money to the team. In a bad economy bad things happen to good people and thru no fault of their own they incur debt. How do teams go about trying to recoup money owed and uniforms and any gear not returned to the team? Especially when there is no communication from the responsible party after the player leaves the team. We had one a couple of years ago who drove a BMW and vacationed in Hawaii but still left the team $75 bucks poorer. It was more trouble than it was worth and we eventually just gave up on trying to recoup the money owed.
I know Legal and liability considerations won't allow it to happen but wouldn't it be great to publish a list of those true deadbeats who leave teams owing money?
