A Tyrone Nelson update

In the same Draft Express post that contained the names of the early entries to the NBA draft comes this tidbit of information:

"We have received information that the following players have signed professional basketball contracts with teams in leagues other than the NBA following the 2008 NBA Draft and rendered services under such contracts. If this information is correct, these players would also be eligible for selection in the 2009 NBA Draft. Because this information has not been verified, however, teams should do their own due diligence (as with any other draft selection) and call the League Office before picking any of these players in the 2009 NBA Draft.

...Tyrone Nelson New Mexico State/Houston (TPBL)..."

Does anyone know what TPBL stands for?

Sounds like a bit of a scam, but it's out there.
