A question for recruitniks

I don't know if I should be on the help board for this but I'd probably get a quicker response here.
I am having an argument (now a bet) with my boss on whether or not a recruit can play football on an athletic scholarship other than football.
I say no but after considerable searching, can't seem to find proof. I'm hoping someone here can provide me a provable link. Thanks

Nope. If you play football, the scholarship comes from football, regardless if the kid plays other sports.

This may help a bit.
While it doesn't provide the statement "2 sport atheletes must use a football scholarship" it does say it indirectly.

By NCAA rule, an athlete on track scholarship can’t play football his first two years on campus. To do so any sooner, he’d have to give up the track scholarship.

I guarantee the answer you are looking for is in this document:
NCAA Rules and Bylaws
How bad do you want to know?

It's the Bear Bryant rule.

This is the key. The scholarship section of the manual is section 15 "Financial Aid". The exact bylaw is 15.5.9.1 which states that participation in football forces the student-athlete to count as a football scholarship recipient.
Like stated above, this is sometimes referred to as the Bear Bryant rule because the Bear was giving football players "other sport" scholarships in order to circumvent the 85 maximum scholarship limit for football.
A student may receive other financial aid, not athletically related, and participate in football without counting against the 85 limit.

Jamie Howard played college football after signing with the Braves. I'll make a call to see if he counted toward the football scholarship number or not. For some reason, I was under the impression he paid his own tuition.
Rules have changed since then with the NCAA and MBL for sure.
But I have no clue wether or no Trindon counts toward a full football scholly or track or half n half.
