wait, somebody explain how he can agree to a deal, LAA pay his schooling & have an agent negotiate this deal(albeit his dad). Doesn't this make him a professional or at least inilegible? I'm confused

Not at all illegal since it is in different sports and he didn't "hire" an agent. We had someone do that a few years back from what I recall. Maybe Booty???? Can't recall.

Both Booty and Mauck played pro baseball before coming to LSU. There are some restrictions, but you can play professional in one sport and retain eligibility in another.

Can't remember, but I think Jamie Howard was the last player to sign a baseball contract and continue playing football.
