Why does every major pro sport use a draft?


Because the owners are trying to protect themselves from themselves. The aren't interested in bidding wars on young talent, so they just pick in order. Player unions are totally fine with that because they are made up of veteran players who would rather they get the money and not the rookies.

If some SEC team wants to bid on track and field prospects I wouldn't have a quibble with that, but generally the sports that don't make any money aren't going to have anything to offer the participants.

Let's be clear. I'm not saying pay all the players all the everything. I'm saying let them negotiate, and see what the market decides.
