The Facts:
Luck waited a year before entering the NFL draft, and he might need to wait a while longer before his professional career gets into full swing. Stanford's academic calendar provides an interesting logistical hurdle for the likely No. 1 overall draft pick. Because Luck is an early entrant into the draft and has not yet graduated, and because his school is on the quarter system, he'll have to wait until he finishes finals to report. The league confirmed that to NFL Network on Friday morning.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The one exception made under the policy is for a club's rookie mini-camp. Although they haven't committed, the Colts are widely expected to take Luck. They have a rookie mini-camp scheduled for May 4-6. According to NFL Network's Albert Breer, the real dates to watch are June 12-14, when the Colts have their full-squad mini-camp, the last team activity before training camp kicks off in mid-summer. Stanford's finals are scheduled to be held June 8-13. It is expected that Luck would be ready in time for that mini-camp. However, his availability for the three organized team activities -- scheduled for May 17, May 24 and June 6 -- would be up in the air. Luck is taking two classes during Stanford's spring quarter, and upon their completion will graduate with a degree in architectural design.
