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.

This.
Most grey shirts only take 9 hours their 1st semester. Otherwise, they lose the major benefit of greyshirting (delaying their eligibility clock).
You go full time student (on scholarship in Jan. instead of Aug.), and then have 5 years to play 4 (instead of 4 to play 4 if you redshirt). Huge advantage to borderline SEC worthy players and injured players. Plus, you allow your team to sign more people your initial year.
