Message: [QUOTE="TDTOrange, post: 1333410, member: 509"] It's an interesting idea, I'm just not sure it's feasible any more for a football player to join the basketball team. Given the season creep for both sports, there's too much overlap to get anything meaningful out of a football player. Say we go to a bowl game, he can't join the basketball until conference season starts, and then he's missed 2 1/2 months of practice. He'd have to be a hell of a player to be anything more than a practice body at that point (but still might be valuable given the lack of bodies). And now that we're starting spring football in February, I'm not sure it's in Shafer's or the player's best interest to skip spring ball to be a practice player on the bball team. [/QUOTE]
