No way. The league has a right to establish minimum rewuirements just as any employer has a right to require a college degree for certain jobs.

Maurice will lose this case.

I imagine this is an antitrust case, not age discrimination -- individual employers might be able to set minimum age standards, but competiting employers can't jointly agree not to compete in hiring certain employees.

He is not going to lose...see MLB and NBA.

Noone has ever challenged the NFL because the issue will be moot by the time they are elgible for the draft...

The league has whatever rights the thugs say they have and no more. Witness professional golf and Casey Martin.
