Mewalde Moore out of Belair also did this at Tulane. I member for a fact he would play pro minor league baseball in Oregon and College football for Tulane in the fall.

It was really cool cause he would come hit with us at Parkview with the wood bat to get ready for baseball. The way I think he explained it to us was he could play four years of football like ya'll are saying and simulatneously play pro baseball in the summer since he never played baseball for Tulane and gave up his amatuer baseball status completly.

Great Athlete and a really nice guy, I was happy to see him get to play for the Vikings and most recently win a super bowl ring with the Steelers. Anyways I think that was how that worked, as long as he played the other sport professionally he had his normal four or five years eligability in college football and the pro baseball could be played in the football off-season.
