NFL Draft: Well, the NFL Draft took place today without Mike Williams or Maurice Clarett. But the legal battle will continue. Clarett's legal team will try to get the ruling reversed in the 2nd Circuit or the Supreme Court. If he wins, there will be a supplemental draft. Williams continues his suit against the NFL for monetary damages and will also petition the NCAA for reinstatement.



The legal arguments raised in this case are much larger than football. Huge precedents of antitrust and labor law could be decided, which could be very good for the legitimacy of "sports law." Stay tuned.
