You may be right, but you are going to have to show me the actual rule for me to accept it because it really doesn't make sense.

Like this makes absolutely no sense. What on earth would a team gain from doing this? As soon as one of these guys practiced with the football team, they would count against football. In the first year they would count against the 25 signees and 85 total. In the second year they would only count against the 85. Your example doesn't work.

I'm not familiar with baseball scholarship administration, so there may be some practical reasons why my suggestion wouldn't work, but it ain't this shite (until you can show me otherwise). If he doesn't show up until fall camp (signing deadline should be over by then), or not at all, he would never actually be on a baseball scholarship. However, it would give him a sense of commitment and the football program wouldn't waste a scholarship since it could be applied to the following year.
