Cool story, bro.

as long as somehow there isnt a payment or some promise of future payment hed still be an amateur
...in theory, in reality that would be impossible to prove and honestly not a risk either party should take
unless Wilson is willing to roll those dice cuz he doesnt give a shit about playing for NCSU
which i would understand

perhaps if you are still considered amateur at a different sport (football) than the one you have a contract/agreed to terms with (baseball), then you are still eligible 6/21/2010 4:08:46 PM |

dweedle is right
BHS, I don't know what the fuck he's trying to say 6/21/2010 4:09:33 PM |
BigHitSunday Dick Danger 51059 Posts user info edit post |
im not so sure that is true
but then again, tommy from notre dame boxed while he played football, i dont know if he got paid though officially
i understood the rules to be that if you got paid for anything you cant play amateur sports 6/21/2010 4:25:21 PM |

there have been several (i.e. more than 1 or 2) college quarterbacks who have gone pro in baseball (or something else) and still come back to play another season of college football. i read as much in the first article they put out about RW getting drafted a few weeks ago.] 6/21/2010 4:31:09 PM |

sure, RW can come play football at NCSU for one more year if he wants to. but, why would he want to? he's guaranteed at least a small amount of cash monies to go pro in baseball. why come back and play football (when he knows he'll never go pro in football) and risk ruining his pro baseball career with some sort of injury? 6/21/2010 4:38:11 PM |

His signing bonus is going to be spread out over several years (as opposed to most which are paid by the end of the year). And he's going to make preschool assistant teacher salary playing short season A ball.6/21/2010 4:39:38 PM |

^^ b/c you cant say he has no shot of being drafted or playing football in the NFL there are several players already in the NFL that match his size and stature.

He'd only be playing baseball until September, he won't miss that much. After football he'll have plenty of time for winter ball.6/21/2010 4:43:04 PM |
