INSIDE THE NFL

Tagliabue: Stay in School

by Peter King

Posted: Wed December 3, 1997

Commissioner Paul Tagliabue says the NFL will fight bids by any second-year college players to enter the '98 draft. "We think our rules [limiting signings to players with at least three years of college] will stand up in court," Tagliabue says. Wisconsin running back Ron Dayne is the most likely candidate to test the waters next spring, but he, or any other second-year sophomores, won't get any support from Packers general manager Ron Wolf. "I hope if one of those guys wants to come out, we discourage him by letting him know we'll fight it hard," says Wolf. "We should make him feel like Curt Flood [whose ultimately successful challenge to baseball's reserve clause dragged on for years], so he'll stay in school."
