Imagine your a low level fbs or fcs school. You have trouble getting top talent. Why not try and get a 6'6 215 pound small forward who plays at the school to play football? He could be a beast on the gridiron probably better than he even is at basketball. And cpils you imagine a 6'9 or 6'10 reciever? Think of the possibilities. I wonder why more small schools don't try this

How many good 6’6” 215 WRs are there?

Could you imagine Shaq as a tight end? Have him run 10 yards and turn around and just throw it up to him.

This is the second thread you've started regarding two sport athletes. It's not as easy as you seem to be making it out to be. College basketball players don't because they aren't good enough. It takes more than being 6'6" 215 pounds to play D1 football

The scholarship would count towards the football limit. Not sure why a football coach would want to burn a spot for a part time player. And I'm sure the basketball coach wouldn't be thrilled about football poaching his players.

Basketball players in general are to big of pussies to be good football players on the college level.

You can only get one scholarship, and I think both Football and Basketball tend to be the full ride variety. Why risk hurting yourself at a secondary sport for the insanely tiny chance you may make the NFL.
