What wasn't included in that list was any player that signed an NIL contract. Those athletes, by definition, are professional. I guess he forgot that part.

Im not saying you're wrong, but i read through the players association bylaws or whatever, and it only stipulated travel, lodging and meals were covered for UDFA rookies. Which to me is still enough. Only veterans were guaranteed a per diem in these minicamps
Ah gotcha, makes sense, but still - it was Rookie Mini-Camp so wouldn’t be a veteran differential. I guess this means it’s up to the individual Clubs to provide an additional stipend or not. Again, it’s $200 max, so insignificant anyway, but the point still remains - little to no difference in how this affects NCAA eligibility for Rookie Mini-Camp and training camp.

One of which is simply entering the draft and not "appropriately withdrawing".


It was worded very poorly, but I believe that means that underclassmen who declare, not those who are "out" of eligibility.

It's worded poorly so Hutson can play for Texas this year.

Professional: Guy who got a cup of coffee and 25k from a pro team.
Amateur: Guy who got 4 million of NIL money.

In the real world the guys that are not on a NFL roster today are nothing more than 5th yr college players. Pyburn is now an NFL player just like Josh Thompson and W. Weeks. Wright and Harris are not on a NFL roster today. Those 2 are not NFL players. They won't be playing on Sundays. They are not good enough. They won't even be starters at LSU.
