Go read it again, the word “draft” is not mentioned in the lawsuit once.

Excellent point……

Still can’t believe Jerruh had both of those guys running the helm before The Great Romo came around.

Who/where would his talent even fit?

I think his next job is as the go-getter in LeBron James’ entourage….

Why would the NFL hold a supplemental draft just because a couple of guys might apply for it. It was never covered under the expiring CBA, there is no reason for them to hold it now, especially with the threat of another legal suit.

I don’t know let’s see……how about actually being a “student” and getting a degree? With the SCHOLARSHIP they receive? Poor poor babies.

Yeah because we all know guys in big time programs go to school to be students.

Or maybe it’s a forced free NFL farm system

Quit drinking the kool aid. The NCAA fatcats keep getting rich on the backs of kids forced into an unfair system orchestrated by the powers that be in the NCAA and NFL.

I’m a fan — I don’t pay any money.

It’s the tv networks, beer companies, car companies, etc who pay — and ticket holders.

Calling the owners “facilitators” is a pretty shallow view of all this. Each stamps his identify pretty strongly on his team.

Any player who’s ego is so huge as to wait for weeks after signing day to extend the recruiting process so as to satiate his ego even more, is not a player I want playing for my team.

Pryor reminds me of Quincy Carter and Tony Banks, guys who were on the All-Potential team but were severely lacking in self-preparation and discipline which resulted in poor production.

I for one will be happy to see OSU go back to the I-formation and pro-style offense and get away from the spread and pistol stuff

They whine constantly about “having” to pay unproven talent big money for multiple years.

This will relieve them of the burden.

Oh, you’re telling me they want it both ways? They want the protection and security without the cost?

You don’t say…

Second, how would Pryor “attacking the draft” have an effect on which team he first plays for? UFAs can sign with whomever they wish.

If Bin Laden could run a 4.1 40 yard dash and catch like Jerry Rice you’d have had 32 teams fighting to sign him.

It’s business, not personal.

Section 48 (might be 45, I need to reread) specifically asks the court to “enjoin the anti-competitive draft.”

Why would you pretend that the draft is not already under assault?

It’s fun, exciting, and it’s always entertaining to sit their with your friends and be a backseat GM. However, if the draft went away forever, it wouldn’t mean that all your favorite perennial losers would suddenly be at a huge disadvantage. Being at the top of the draft (top half of the first round) makes it tougher to be a contender. Every stat confirms this. The teams who do good on a regular basis (Steelers, Pats, Colts, ect.) get to pick in the back half of the first and second rounds. These picks are the most valuable. If we eliminated a draft and kept a salary cap, the teams with an advantage would be the ones with and engrained system (Steelers, Pats type teams), and the ones that know how to scout talent.

Like I said, I’m a fan of the draft, but if it goes away, I won’t be terrified that 3 or 4 teams are just going to dominate the league.v

——————————–
I would not exactly call 1-2 in BCS Championship games a string of losses.

Not to mention they have won the most BCS games.

Oh yeah and Tressel is a dirt bag along with the hypocrite NCAA fat cats loading their pockets on the backs of these “student” athletes.

The whole system is a joke.

At least NFL players though I hate their current stance have a way to fight a system they disagree with.

What recourse do the “Student”athletes have other then being pushed into an NFL farms system called the NCAA?

If the league would work with the players they can avoid this kind of challenge. Prospects like Pryor would fall in line.

I’m pretty sure he will have no problem signing with whichever team he wants to AFTER the draft.

But why wouldn’t Pryor take a crack and being able to set up a recruiting tug-o-war like the one in which Tressel and Rich Rodriguez engaged three-plus years ago?
====================

Because if he doesn’t go in the supplemental draft and sues instead, it means no NFL football for him in 2011 even if the the CBA is settled and the season starts on time.

There is no way any suit he files now would even be HEARD much less decided before the season.

If you had actually taken one or two minutes to think about that before you wrote the article, you probably wouldn’t have written it.

Which is why you didn’t bother.
