You cannot put limits on who you employ in this case.

What makes this different from government or civil service positions? What makes this different from any position when a specific amount of experience or education is required?

Bottom line, the League can hire who it wants, provided it does not violate civil rights guidelines.

Those guidelines are not being violated here; the League can allow who it wants in, period.

You want to hire underclassmen? Fine. Go buy a team in the Arena League or the CFL. The NFL has put a specific limitation in. You don't like it? Tough. There are plenty of other folks who would gladly buy your franchise (and before you bring him up, screw Al Davis.)

I think this is about the first time I have disagreed with you, at least that I can remember; but Clarett has a slam-dunk case. Ih he has the physical and mental tools to play in the NFL, he has a right to play in the NFL if a team is willing to draft him or sign him as a free agent.

He also has a solid 1st and 5th Amendment civil rights case.
