http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FBN_CLARETT_NFL?SITE=KYLOUSECTION=HOMETEMPLATE=DEFAULT Apr 20, 7:17 PM EDT Clarett Takes Draft Case to Supreme Court By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Maurice Clarett filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to try to force his way into this weekend's NFL draft. Clarett's attorney, Alan Milstein, asked for a stay of a decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals preventing the former Ohio State tailback from entering the draft. We're hoping justice will prevail and Mr. Clarett will play football - which is what he was born to do and which is what he is ready to do, Milstein said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

Re: [RollTideFan] Teh Supreme court by Gawd!
You're mighty close, Tim. I'm saying the NFL should be forced to allow anyone who wants to, enter their draft. Here's the trick: If you (NFL) aren't sure about the player - DON'T FSCKIN' DRAFT 'EM! And the NCAA shouldn't restore their eligibility when a player declares and doesn't get drafted. If these players want to play with grown men, they should have to suffer the consequences like grown men.

It is almost a guarantee that if this guy can beat the NFL's rules and become eligible for the draft, then someone will draft him and give him a big fat signing bonus even if he never plays a down. I think he'll be drafted, but I don't think he'll be drafted high enough to get much of a signing bonus. Probably a lot more money than he has in his pocket at the moment, but chump-change by NFL standards. Other players see it and are therefore encouraged to do the same. I see the opposite. I think players will see what HuGe risk it is with no guarantee of being selected, and stay put. Besides, I think you'll only see a very small number of bonafide NFL caliber underclassmen take that chance. The others will be the Chris Hood's of college football, and David Paine's of high school football. That drains the talent pool Most teams won't lose a single, eligible player. How many declared after the first ruling, as an example? and doesn't allow coaches to plan because they can't depend on their players staying around. Health, mental stability, and academic eligibility can't be depened on, either. Trust me, early entry into the NFL draft will probably be the very least of their concerns. As a college football fan, I don't like that because I think it ultimately hurts both college football AND the NFL. Growing pains, dude. They'll live.
