The league has the right to establish minimum requirements.

Why does the NFL have the right to illegally restrain trade in a way no other business is alllowed to do. Why are all of the employers in the NFL allowed to make rules that other groups of employees are not allowed to make. All of the banks couldn't agree to only hire people who are X age, and all agree to pay a minimum of X. Why should we allow the NFL to operate under special rules?

#1 because it's their business and as long as they follow federal guidlines and don't discriminate they can do what the hell they want.

#2 do you understand the concept of an anti-trus exemption?

The NFL will have one just like baseball before all is said and done.
