      "title": "Clarett v. National Football League and the Nonstatutory Labor Exemption in Antitrust Suits",
      "summary": "On May 24, 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit delivered its\nopinion in  Clarett v. National Football League . In that case, a former college running\nback\nchallenged on antitrust grounds the NFL's so-called \"three-year rule,\" which prohibits players from\nentering the NFL Draft unless they are three years removed from high school. The Second Circuit\nruled that the three-year rule is protected from antitrust challenges by the nonstatutory labor\nexemption, which shields the collective bargaining process from antitrust scrutiny in deference to\nfederal labor laws. This report will be updated as events warrant.",
