Texas A.D. gives NFL permission to get rid of three-year rule, sort of

When it comes to the tenuous relationship between the NFL and its free farm
system known as college football, pro football’s most significant
contribution comes from the rule that prevents players from joining the NFL
until three years after their high school class has graduated. This anti-
competitive labor rule creates a rolling three-year window of world-class
football players who have no viable alternative to playing college football.
As the curators of the NFL’s free farm system try to continue to have a
free labor force, they may eventually give the NFL permission to start
paying the players college football doesn’t want to pay.
“If you’re a football player coming out of high school that decides you
want to go to the pros, go take up your issue with [NFL Commissioner] Roger
Goodell, the owners, and the union,” Texas A.D. Steve Patterson said
Tuesday, via the Associated Press. “That’s your place to go, if you want
to go play professional football, if you want to go be an employee.”
Patterson has a clear interest in keeping student-athletes from becoming
student-employees. If players in any sport must be paid, Patterson’s job
instantly gets a lot harder — and his compensation inevitably gets lower.
Apart from paying players, Patterson would have many other headaches he
doesn’t currently have, if the Longhorns sports teams exercise their
eventual right to collectively bargain for better conditions or benefits or
anything else that currently falls within the discretion of the school and
the NCAA.
Patterson’s knee-jerk reaction seems more like the anger phase of the five-
step process of dealing with bad news. But if more NCAA schools adopt his
“if you want to be employees get the hell out of here” message, then the
NFL no longer would be hurting college football programs by welcoming
players straight out of high school; the NFL possibly would be helping them.
Indeed, that could be something the NCAA eventually requests from the NFL.
A decade after the league incorporated the three-year rule into the CBA to
make it bulletproof from a legal standpoint as a bouquet for college
football, college football may decide that having a path to paid football
programs makes players less likely to be deemed “employees” when the
initial ruling from the NLRB in the Northwestern case snakes its way through
the full legal process.
Of course, none of it will matter if/when Jeffrey Kessler’s antitrust-based
lawsuit against the NCAA succeeds. For college sports, Kessler’s plan
presents a far greater threat, for reasons we’ll eventually address at
length in a separate post. After all, PFT union rules permit only one topic
per story. | s****y
