Someone Explain How Carson Beck Is Allowed To Play Football For Miami

I understand the 6 year deal, I understand the eligibility deal, what I don't understand is how Beck can play football for Miami, be paid 4 million dollars, and not be taking any classes there?

Unless the story I read about Beck is bogus. He was asked about going to class in Miami and Beck said he graduated 2 years ago in Georgia, he doesn't take classes.

I'm sure there is some "out" that allowed him to play.

NIL has ruined college athletics. Texas Tech is buying another team this year with Big Oil money, just using TT as one example, Oregon is bad also, shit all of them do it, some just take it to the extreme.

Penn State is the king of college wrestling, 4 or 5 years ago a kid from Stanford wanted to transfer to Penn State. he was turned down by Penn State because his credits from Stanford wouldn't transfer. he had planned on taking a graduate course at Penn State.

I'm pretty sure one would have to be registered at the school to be able to participate in athletics.

Their own semipro league.
I had a passing interest in the teams where I lived but I see no reason to follow them now.
