Professional Workouts - Syracuse University Athletics

Please remind student-athletes, following initial full-time

collegiate enrollment, a student-athlete who has eligibility

remaining may try out with a professional athletics team

(or participate in a combine including that team) at any

time, provided the student-athlete does not miss class. The

student-athlete may receive actual and necessary expenses in

conjunction with one 48-hour tryout per professional team (or a

combine including that team). The 48-hour tryout period shall

begin at the time the individual arrives at the tryout location.

At the completion of the 48-hour period, the student-athlete

must depart the location of the tryout immediately in order to

receive return transportation expenses. A tryout may extend

beyond 48 hours if the student-athlete self-finances additional

expenses, including return transportation. A self-financed

tryout may be for any length of time, provided the individual

does not miss class.

During a tryout, a student-athlete may not take part in any

outside competition (games or scrimmages) as a representative

of a professional team.

Note: In basketball, a student-athlete may accept actual

and necessary travel, and room and board expenses from a

professional sports organization to attend that organization’s

basketball draft combine regardless of the duration of the camp.
