For those 2 sport prospects -ie Maurice Hampton- who may also be a MLB high draft pick (June 3) and therefore a scholarship loss for a D-1 football program (not a loss for baseball) by the new NCAA standards, why can’t this player’s scholarship be allotted to baseball


Pretty simple. If you allow this, then you have schools like Bama with a football player on baseball scholarship, 4 football players on swimming scholarship, 3 football players on soccer scholarship, 2 football players on tennis scholarship and 2 players on volleyball scholarship.


Which poses more of a problem, what I listed above, or the scenario of possibly losing 1 scholarship (like it currently is)

Dual sport athletes are not outlawed by the NCAA; it absolutely is allowed. At LSU, Jared Mitchell was the last I recall. Scholarship athletes are not prevented from playing multiple sports.

The rule was put in place because of Bear Bryant.
