NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue says Ohio State tailback Maurice Clarett is free to play professional football before he completes three years of college - it'll just have to be in Canada.
Clarett's attorney said Monday that the Ohio State sophomore, who is being held out of preseason practice, is considering challenging the NFL's rule that prohibits players from entering the draft until they've played three college seasons or are three years removed from their final high school season. Tagliabue said Tuesday that the rule wouldn't be changed.
