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.
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.
