He's saying you cant hide a football player on a baseball scholarship

Unlike many things in the NCAA, this one is pretty straightforward.

If you play than more than 1 sport, the scholarship counter goes to the highest grossing revenue sport.

NCAA doesn't care where the money actually comes from- it just counts against that sport. For us that's football.

Even though the player might not actually receive a football scholarship, as far as NCAA numbers go, they do. The ONLY way a football plus another sport athlete can play both and not count against the football numbers is to not receive ANY scholarship money.
