NEED CLARIFICATION, PLEASE -

Please review and correct. It is my understanding that a college player's "Pro Day" is at his college facility and coaches (and GMs, scouts, etc) attend on that one particular day.

What I'm not sure of is when a college player has "scheduled visits" with Dallas, Pittsburgh, etc. or when I read that "The Panthers have also scheduled a private workout for Gabbert some time this weekend" - this is from the "Great Blue North Draft Report website.

Does the player travel all over the country for these teams? What is the policy / procedure for these "scheduled visits" and "private workouts."?

If the player has to travel, that's time away from class because school is still being conducted and also, that's a lot of money to go from state to state.

Much appreciation to one and all who help me understand this. I NEVER INQUIRED BEFORE - I just read over it year after year but now, with all of you, I know I'll be educated properly. Thank you!!!!

teams pay transportation fees etc to host the players. They are allowed a specific amount of private workouts. But they have an unlimited amount of workouts for “local” schools (not sure if its statewide) So that doesn’t count against the total number of private workouts for the team. As you can see I don’t know the numbers. I vaguely remember this from past years. I’m sure they get excused absences from classes and they eventually make up their work.
