I'm a 29 year old veteran sophomore at a community college if you tell me how to do it in MLA (cite your stuff) I will cite the shite out of it.

If it is for a paper, look up Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Sherman Act, and Clarett v. NFL.

Wasn't Ironhead Heyward the plaintiff in that case?

Chris Carter said the other day that he was the first player let in after only 3 years (he was drafted in supplemental draft). So I guess his rookie year..

I know but I'm not telling any of you because none of you came to support my band Scrantonicity II at the battle of the bands. Not to be confused with Scrantonicity I, of which I am no longer a member.






But in all seriousness, I don't know. It may have something to do with the Maurice Clarett trial of 2003? Clarett had originally won his case being told he could go pro, then lost on appeals I believe.

That's pretty much what I kept running into with my searches so that's why I wasn't sure.

Wait, back in the day, you had to be a senior? People are always fricking up a good thing.

3 yr rule was long before Clarett.

I know, that's why Hershel Walker played in the USFL, but I just thought the Clarett case might have the most recent explanation of it.
