That rule says that if on schollie for one sport and if you play another then the sport with more schollies takes the hit.
I believe it was Miami who was putting kids on track ships and then having them play football...
Since Bo would only being playing football, it would be the same as what guys that walk-on do. They pay their way to go to school, but are able to make the team as a walk-on therefore not counting against the schollie limt.
This is the reason why this is a good situation for us, b/c he is a kid that could be worthy of a schollie, but we don't have to use one to get him, b/c he is going to pay his own way.
In a way he will be a preferred walk-on...
