More on Clarett 


Ron Borges writes in the Boston Globe that the NFL might have to settle with Maurice Clarett, who sued the league for antitrust violations for not allowing him to enter next year's amateur draft. Clarett has a good chance of winning in court because the NFL's rule that players must be three years removed from high school graduation to be eligible for the draft is in it's bylaws, but not in the collective bargaining agreement. If it were in the CBA, it would be legal. The NFL's plan might be to allow Clarett to enter next year's draft and quickly add the bylaw, which the Players Association also supports, to the CBA.
