Seems like just some collusion with the NCAA


Like not drafting players until after their junior season? They have been colluding for decades

I’m not arguing they can’t determine who’s eligible, just seems like something they coordinated with the NCAA to try to putatively go after these guys. Notice the phrase I used is “collusion with the NCAA”

I get that, and it is more obvious. You may recall that when the USFL came about, the NFL used to not draft anyone until they graduated, then modified their policy after the USFL started drafting juniors. It's also part of the CBA now, but I have been convinced for some time that there is at least some collusion with the NCAA regarding the draft limits as well.

Why do you believe that it is collusion between the NFL and the NCAA? Seems to me that it is more of a demand from the NFLPA since they are the ones with the most to lose.

The NFL has the most to gain by allowing younger players in who would potentially replace a third year player making that player ineligible for pension which would save the NFL $25K per year in lifetime pension payments.

Slowing down process allows more players to receive a pension for NFLPA members in the long run.

I fail to see the upside for the NFL to prevent players to come when they are ready.

It is now, but the NFL had been limiting this for 30 years (1926) before the NFLPA (1956) even existed. It was almost 40 years after the NFLPA came into existence that it became part of the CBA (1993)

Do you know what a collective bargaining agreement is?

Holy shite. I'm amazed that some of you can even tie your own fricking shoes with the stupidity that gets posted here.

Yet players can beat their wives/girlfriends/people in general with minimal punishment. Seems the NFL is pandering here to keep good faith with its free to use minor league system. No doubt collusion is at play. The entire uproar over these guys has been collusion. Hope their lawyers investigate throughly, find the facts needed and take money from all of them. There's bound to be deep throat in the conference headquarters somewhere.

Do you know the NFLhas been limiting who they can draft out of college since 1926, (it was seniors then). and the first CBA to address that was in 1993.

Learn some history kid.

And I switched to slip ins in my old age

True, but that rule only applies to the CFL


He made the comparison, not me. I was just stating it's not an appropriate analogy.

quote:

While the term "another football league" is not specifically defined, this statement falls under the header of "Other Professional Leagues". Surely, the NFL is not contending college football qualifies as a "Professional League"? (which would open up a whole other can of worms

I don't see anything in the CBA that specifically prohibits a team signing these players. The Browns waived Wright. He was eligible to be signed by any other NFL team at that point. However, he didn't. At that point I don't see how he is anything but a free agent as he is not under a contract with any NFL team. His agent also stated they made it a point for him to not sign any agreement with any other team, including LSU.


I mean, this could be as simple that they wrote the CBA not considering this circumstance. Now that this has arisen, they don't agree with it. Unless the party wants to challenge it legally, the NFL doesn't have to allow it regardless of what the CBA says.
