I'm looking for the wording of what any existing dynasty leagues use that allow for college players to be picked in the rookie/free agent draft.
I'm proposing it in our dynasty league and want to see the wording from some other leagues about how it's handled.
Does anybody do this through MFL and how is it handled?
Phenomz Dynasty. Yes, we use MFL.
I. College Players
One (1) College player is allowed per roster and can be held onto as long as desired, meaning teams will continue to own that player when they get drafted into the NFL, and another draft pick will not need to be forfeited to keep that College player when they turn pro. A College player is not mandatory to own, it is up to the owner if they want to make room for them on their roster. The college player needs to have lost at least one year of college eligibility to be drafted (so essentially a Sophomore, Junior or Senior). The College player is part of the roster, so room would need to be made for that player (not a separate taxi squad). College players can be drafted during our league Draft period only (not during any other FA pick up period throughout the year).
One week after the official underclassmen NFL declaration deadline has passed (late January) all college players now eligible for the upcoming NFL Draft are no longer considered “college players” and the one college player roster spot opens up for a new college prospect to be traded for or picked during our next Draft if desired.
There is to be a minimum of zero and a maximum of one college player per roster at all times. The deadline to decide whether to keep a college player on the roster, or release him to be available in our next Phenomz draft will be the night before the NFL draft at 5pm CST. Former owners of any dropped college players at this deadline are allowed to draft that same college player again during the next Draft. Any owners choosing to keep their present college player at this deadline are not allowed to drop that college player until the completion of our Draft period. All locked and drafted college players are allowed to be traded, but not allowed to be dropped at any time during the draft period. If a trade is made during the draft period that puts two or more college players on any one roster, that trade will be immediately nulified and reversed.
College players are not allowed to be used in starting lineups until they are part of an NFL roster (thus, not making them “college players” anymore). College players can be traded like any other player/pick, but if a team acquires a second college player in a trade, or by any other means, than one of the two college players will need to be waived immediately (only one College player allowed per roster). If a college player is ever dropped from a roster, at any time, than they go back into the pool available for everyone again at our next league Draft period. The College player for each team will be entered into the website as “(Owner Name’s) College Player” as a generic placeholder and the specific College player owned for each team will be listed and updated in a thread on the message board (in same thread where future draft picks are tracked for easy reference).
