The NCAA is hooting itself in the foot. The first thing he is going to do is go pro. But wait!! The NCAA and the NFL have a buddy buddy deal where only men three years removed from highschool can play. But Claret is only two years outta high school. Big problems, Claret is going to sue for lost wages because of the NFL/NCAA buddy buddy agreement. When he wins, the flood gates will be opened up and highschoolers will skip college and go into the NFL like Basketball, Hockey, Baseball. The one great NFL will turn into the mess that the other major sports are. Thanks NCAA!!!

I could easily see that scenario. I could be wrong but I don't see him coming back to the Bucks.

I in fact believe that the reason he graduated early from high school was so that he could skirt the three year rule somehow.

Clarrett isn't going to sue, and wouldn't win if he did. The rule is part of the NFLPA collective barganing agreement. He has no legal standing to sue. He isn't part of the NFLPA. His attorney has already advised against a law suit. And for good reasons. The players collectively bargained for the rule. He can't sue to make some one draft him.

The NBA will institute a rule soon, it will be challenged, and the NBA will win. Jessee Jackass will cry racism and claim its an assault upon young black men. We will laugh, he will find another scam.
