The only con of a grey shirt is that the player has to pay his own way his 1st semester at school. His eligibility doesn't start for a full year after it would have with a normal offer.
I'm fairly sure that this isn't true. An athlete's eligibility clock starts upon enrollment, regardless of who is paying for school.

This is true if he is enrolled full time. If he is enrolled part time, it doesn't start. A grey shirt is simply an athlete who delays full time erollment until the spring and gets his scholarship then. There's no need to enroll prior to that point, so if he can't afford it, or whatever, he doesn't have to go part time.
