What is a greyshirt? This is a new concept for me. Thanks

A greyshirt is more commonly used in football. the school offers a scholorship for the following footall year, ie, you are a class of 2008 guy they tell you they will give you a scholorship in 2009. The student pays their first year, or in some cases their first semester and they get to practice with the team the whole year.
