MLB is one of many employment opportunities for professional male athletes in the USA and the world. If a college student wants to pursue an education that qualifies him for only one job with only one employer, that does not mean the employer must have its internal divisions bid for him just to avoid violating antitrust or federal labor laws. The same applies to an athlete who decides to pursue only one employer, whether that be MLB, the NFL, or the NHL.
