Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 2384241, member: 874"] I think it's actually both, 1 year out of high school and at least 19, maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, it would be easy to fix with language. Everyone knows the reason for the rule was to try to weed out the guys that were horrible but GMs kept taking flyers on. You simply say 1 year, or 2 or 3 or whatever, of post high school experience. Any job with any real qualifications asks for something like that. People have to complete internships, clinicals, etc. It's not out the question to require someone to have some sort of experience, whether it be college, european pros, or some sort of minor league, before they're eligible to sign a guaranteed multimillion dollar contract. The fact that people want to treat these guys differently than any normal person trying to get a decent job, one that probably pays far less, is ludicrous. It really speaks to the way our culture has elevated sports to a religion and athletes to gods. [/QUOTE]
