Responses above to Exclusivity are close but not quite what I meant ...Could someone help me unpack the logic bundle in this please?
1. "I would tend to doubt it lacks an exclusivity clause"
2. Exclusivity Clause = a clause that makes his WWE participation exclusive = WWE would NOT allow NCAA participation?
3. Lacks an Exclusivity Clause = WWE does NOT have an Exclusivity Clause = WWE would NOT BLOCK NCAA participation = he COULD participate in NCAA
4. Tend to doubt = the opposite of #3 = he canNOT participate in NCAA
Do I follow Goggles' (and Jefe's!) reasoning/assertion/guesses here?
@Dogwelder help!?
Pro sports contracts routinely prohibit certain physical activities to prevent injury risk. Not just high-risk stuff like skydiving and motorcycle riding. Many football and baseball players aren't allowed to play basketball.
It's not for the players' safety. It's to protect the teams financially -- the player can be substantially fined and even have guaranteed money voided.
The leagues spend tons on private investigators because players will brazenly lie to keep their money. Example: the infamous Jeff Kent "car wash" incident.
Hard to imagine notorious contract hard-ass McMahon not doing the same for Steveson.
