The CBA can rightly say what terms the employer has to offer in an employment contract. It cannot compel anyone to accept an employment contract when offered. That's involuntary servitude, and though you may have missed it, it was outlawed some time ago.

Nobody is saying "force" them but no other drafted player can become a UFA faster than a college player. You can easily fix that and it would be 100% legal.
I don't even care if they fix it but for you to say that would be illegal is ludicrous.
