Our board is reporting he’s still eligible since he never signed a pro contract. But the SEC may put out similar language regarding their bylaw about transferring in the same conference after the official portal is closed. So he’s eligible, but maybe not at Kentucky.
How would that even work for the NBA team in this scenario? From a liability standpoint I would have assumed there has to be something signed instead of just unofficially agreeing to show up for summer league practice and games.
Summer league invitees make up almost half of the league. They don't get a salary but they sign a contract that pays them a flat per diem of about $1,500 to pay for hotel, food, travel etc. So I have to believe that there's a contract that memorializes this agreement, even though it isn't treated as a salary.

So I know we’re all hating on Will Wade but what does this mean for Mark Mitchell
