Hell the SEC can’t even explain what it is. That was a terrible look for SEC counsel this morning.

I think the person is asking when is a player considered professional. Is it when they DONT get paid to participate in a rookie mini camp? Is it when they sign a preseason contract and then get cut? Is it when they make the roster and sign at least a 1 year deal?
I think it's pretty clear.
When you sign with a professional league, you are now a professional.
College players don't want college to be considered "professional". With that title comes work place rules and contracts. No transferring at anytime. No sitting out bowl games. Salary caps. Binding player/league agreements. Everything college football does not have at the moment.

I know you dont seem very intelligent but Im sure you can see the nuance of this situation
I guess that is why I am in here having to explain it to a stupid bastard like you.
"Muh Lane Kiffin said it was okay...duh huh."
You are a low IQ moron in here trying to insult the intelligence of someone who actually has a troiple digit IQ. Unlike the majority of you Louisiana idiots.

NCAA already lost that argument bro and is paying 2 billion after taking it all the way to USSC. If the SEC’s ignore a USSC case we will end up paying more and lawyers will be sanctioned or disbarred.

SEC counsel made the same face that the Democrats make when asked to explain what a woman is.

You would be incorrect.

Not to make it political but did he just pull a left trans argument card on what’s a woman? Lol bold move

So when a player signs paperwork to attend a minicamp, they are a professional, right?

This story would be so much better if you included the man eating bobcat from one of your earlier stories. Maybe some 10’-12 seas. Heck, didn’t you have some secret service insider feeding you info on the president? You really should bring it all together.

Most of them are more built up/bulky than your average college player. Simply due to age/time spent in the sport.

Then again, anyone who thinks Merriam-Webster is just an online dictionary. They are probably too stupid and lacking in education to comprehend the answer.
