​The NCAA's Agents, Gambling and Amateurism (AGA) Department has released information regarding the 2012 NFL Draft, Tryouts and Agents for all Division I football student-athletes with remaining eligibility.

The document contains key dates and reminders for football student-athletes who are interested in gauging their readiness for competition in the NFL.

The following five points, which are further explained in the document, are of particular importance. A student athlete will lose his/her eligibility if he/she:

1. Agrees orally or in writing to be represented by an agent or any individual acting on behalf of an agent.
2. Accepts any benefits from an agent, a prospective agent or any individual acting on behalf of an agent.
3. Participates in a tryout with a professional team that lasts longer than 48 hours (and is not self-financed).
4. Tries out with a professional team during the academic year and misses class.
5. Enters the draft and does not take the appropriate steps to withdraw and declare his/her intention to resume intercollegiate participation.
