If Willie was willing to give up a scollie, it could be made to work.
Outside of Kentucky, Indiana, and maybe Memphis though, can't see it happening.
I'm guessing you guys are kidding, but I recall a rule about not being able to get a schollie in a 2nd sport (non-primary). Don't recall the details, but I think it was designed to keep teams from using schollies (track, baseball, etc.) when an athlete's main sport is full up.
I was kidding, but I'm pretty sure your correct, you can't play football or basketball if your on a scholarship for one of the non-revenue sports. That's why I said football
That's correct.
You can't receive a scholarship from a non-revenue sport and then walk-on to the football or basketball team. However, you CAN play other sports if you receive a football scholarship.
Just as an example, Jameis Winston has a football scholarship and is a "walk-on" to the baseball team. Even though he is good enough to have a baseball scholarship, he can't receive money from that if he plays football.
I don't see any problem with someone receiving a football scholarship and then playing basketball. BJ Daniels did it his first season.
Not that we would ever do it if someone wasn't a legitimate two sport athlete.
