Did I mis something or are the NFL's rules in the founding documents of our nation?
My point is how can the minimum age requirement be unconstitutional if the constitution itself has minimum age requirements? Why 35 years old? Is it really that different from 30 or 40?
Also, the NFL has some wiggle room because people normally can graduate from high school at age 17, 18, or 19. There are also exceptions where people can graduate from high school at a much earlier age. But then what about the person who doesn't graduate until he is 25. Is he inelligible until he is 28? So, the rule is not even a set age.
