The problem comes on the assumption that a player on an NMC would refuse to waive. So by not forcing teams to protect players with NMCs, it basically creates different rules for different teams. Your team with two players on NMCs could then effectively protect 13 players, while my team, with no NMCs, can protect only 11.
