He did what he wanted within the system. If he had gone back to college for his 4th year, it would have cost him money in the long run. He, in fact, was willing to sacrifice money to work for the employer of his choice.

I mostly agree with this, but I still think the drafting team should get something for their efforts. I believe Fox had the benefit of attending one or two of the Flames' post-draft July camps (I realize NCAA players have to pay their own way to attend, but they get a lot from the experience).
I think the college player who does this should be in the category of a RFA - the signing team has to give up a draft pick to the team that drafted him or owns his rights (e.g. a pick at the level where he was drafted).
