[QUOTE="Zubaz, post: 2768938, member: 3528"] Oh brother. As Dr Butler often said between Elvis quotes: "Defined narrowly enough, everything is a Monopoly. Defined broadly enough, nothing is." I'd argue you are being too broad to say "you can earn a living doing something else therefore they don't have a monopoly". I would suggest it is fairly clear the NFL has a de-facot and are in general protected by both market share and legislation when they engage in anticompetitive practice (like prohibiting younger players from being drafted, or signing exclusive network contracts). The NCAA therefore certainly has a de-facto monopoly on U-21 American football. We are in agreement on ending those protections. [/QUOTE]
