Sherman Act
Posted on 2/7/24 at 10:19 am

I am definitely not a Lawyer, but couldn't the NCAA fight the Sherman Act by opening up and letting players go directly into the NFL. Thus ending the monopoly they have on college football athletes?

the NFL are the ones that don't let players go straight from HS.
It's their rule that you have to be 3 years out from graduating HS.

We should allow high school kids to leave for college without graduating. Let's break up this "High School monopoly."

Maybe high school kids should get paid like college players. Aren't their schools making money on their talent?

The NCAA has nothing to do with when players can go to the NFL. That's an NFL rule

And it's in their best interest.

Not 100% sure, but I believe he’s part of the protected class

The NFL is a private business that has set the requirements for eligibility to enter the draft. There is no rule or law to challenge
I’m also not sure exactly what your solution is solving for
There’s also no monopoly they have on college athletes. There are plenty of other football leagues, they just happen to be the one that pays the most and is better than the others. Caleb Williams is free to sign with the XFL or CFL if he wants

Could you imagine a world where the NFL is worse than the 90s NBA in speculation and spending and Arch Manning gets a $30 million contract out of high school based on Tulip mania...now that would be entertaining....and destroy the league.
