These scholarships are very interesting. I am assuming what we have done is sign these players, I count 5 now, to the NYL contracted player positions, like Lundy was, and then loaned 2 out to Portugal.

To play NYL you have to have an NYL or HAL contract and standard NYL contracts are amateur contracts, hence why we can raid the Roar. This seems to be a loop hole that allows us to sign up more than 3 NYL players to min wage deals.
