Did you guys hear about this one? Several high school students in Newport Beach, California are being criticized for their NFL-style prom draft, devised and implemented as a method of date-selection for their upcoming June 7th dance.



According to the LA Times, the same group of male students that ranked female students and drew random numbers also sold first-round picks.



That practice is seemingly being discouraged by administrators.

The girls at Corona del Mar High really didn’t seem all that upset, however.



In fact, one student interviewed for the article stated, “A lot of the girls respect the draft and stick with those dates.”



We did however read about some junior girls who got a little irked when they realized that there were sophomore girls being asked before they had their dates. Maybe they’d feel better knowing that Aaron Rodgers could totally relate?



Objectifying highly impressionable young ladies is never cool - but let’s be honest, these guys deserve some points for creativity and ingenuity.



We just have a few outstanding questions for the gentlemen responsible:

What are the rules for eligibility? Are hot freshmen considered? What about not-so-hot seniors? Are girls with boyfriends entered? If so, can those dudes trade their picks? What goes into your rankings? Is it appearance alone? Dancing abilities? Likelihood of…. having a good time? What’s the formula? Was there a combine held prior to the rankings being completed? If so, was “twerking” one of the drills?



If any of the guys involved in the prom draft happen to read this and can provide us with some honest answers, we’d be honored to give you a free Draft Sharks Insider Subscription and personalized fantasy football help for the 2014 season.
