Clarrett screwed himself by failing to play by the rules (any rules - NCAA or NFL) and his multi million dollar talent is going to get him a job which requires him to learn one line and one line only -- "Would you like fries with that??"

Don't get too sure about this. I watched quite a few Ohio State games when Clarette played, and I watched interviews of him recently. He's not here trying to make himself a martyr for other young, gifted players. He's trying to play. All he wants to do is play, and from what I've seen is completely motivated. You can say a bunch of bullshit about how staying in school and getting an education is what they need. Bullshit. These guys don't learn anything but football. You think staying in college till 3 years after HS is important. Let us look at a great ex-Redskin. Mr Dexter Manly. How did he get through college without the ability to read? I'm sure it's from that amazing education he received, for free, because he was such a great football player. At least he had a nice education to fall back on, right?

There is no constitutional right to play in the NFL - I checked.

Check the pre-amble. Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Which one of these three ideals are being kept from Maurice? I'll let you figure it out.

This system gives thousands of guys who can not afford it a FREE college education

Exactly. Shouldn't these free educations be given to those kids that will use the education? Not someone who's going to go for 3 years and then join the NFL right away and never look back. If we let people like Clarett skip the football farms it saves taxpayers (schoolarships aren't free either) money, and let's kids that actually need the education have it.
Sports: I heard a rumor they were working for free to get exposure. Not sure if you can hold anything against a rumor. If not, you're right, he needs a job, and soon!
