Not familiar with that concept. How is a "franchise" prospect different from any other prospect?
"9) ""Prospect Franchising"" -- a rule that allows each team in our league the option to designate one prospect as a ""franchise pick."" This designation would give the team that drafted the player exclusive rights to that individual in perpetuity, until such time as this prospect was: (a) traded to a different team, (b) released, or (c) activated as a carded member of the team's roster. When this designation expires, it cannot be reassigned to a new prospect until the conclusion of the next prospect draft conducted by the league."
It was a new twist that the league voted on, but to be honest I’m not sure how it differs from normal prospect handling. Tarheel suggested, so perhaps he can explain?
