Would be an interesting situation to say the least.

I could very well be wrong on this, but wouldn’t the problem be that football would still have to take a risk in this scenario?

If I understand the 25 signing limit rule, then under the scenario proposed, the football team would have to risk signing 25 players and not having a spot left if the baseball player gets to campus and decides he wants to play, or the football team would still have to leave a spot open, only sign 24, and then if the baseball player decides not go to MLB or only play baseball, then football is left without the benefit of a full signing class.

I mean, I guess the only benefit I see for football is that they don’t lose the open spot and can carry it forward to the next years signing class if the baseball player doesn’t end up playing football.
