Sponsor pushing pros one way or the other may just be their way of keeping a presence on both tours... Or they maybe taking sides with whom they perceive to be the ultimate winner in the low stake game of chicken... No tour is gonna refuse to take sponsorship money from anyone. Good way to make enemies... Heck, even Al created a Ballistic Boat page... Dan

My best guess is that the sponsors like to have an even or close to even percentage presence across the board in all the tours. When that balance becomes out of whack they would naturally like to see newcomers who are showing promise to go where they may be needed to balance the presence of sponsors. My guess is last years major defections and this years purchase of FLW may have thrown everything out of balance and the sponsors are trying to get back to a balance..
John Cox will do very well in the Elites.

I fully understand they signed a 3 year contract but there is also a buyout option if you leave early which leaves that door open. Again as I stated I am curious to see if any return to BASS. I'll leave the comparing the trails against each other to other folks. I was just saying I'm curious to see if any leave for BASS. Nothing less, nothing more.
Ain't no door open it theres a non-compete in that contract unless they just want to sit on the sidelines for a few seasons.
If some of them want to leave, they should let them. Why keep them around if they want to leave? They'll have no problem finding replacements.
They have a NDA why would they not have a non-compete, extremely common among competing companies...
