Default Clarett sues the nfl for the right to nfl draft.

I think he'll lose because age disctimination suits are very convoluted. The law is pretty well settled on the higher-end that there can be no discrimination against older individuals, but the law is much more convoluted for people claiming they are discriminated against because of youth. A lot of folks think this is a slam dunk, but it is not.

Second, if this rule is overturned, kids will be leaving college in droves. Third rounders still get seven-figure bonus money. And while a pro team have a hard time justifying wasting a first rounder on a kid that won't play immediately, they can easily justify it on a third or fourth rounder. The spin that is flying around that this won't have much impact is just that-spin. Kids will be leaving college after 1 or 2 years in droves.
