Actually Mark, that's not correct.

His eligibility clock only starts once you enroll full time.  He will not be
able to ever play baseball at NU, but a pro baseball career does not in any
way prevent you from coming back and playing football.

The sports are handled individually in that manner.  In the same way, if a
player were to play NFL Europe for a few years then go in the draft for the
NFL (never playing in college) that player could come back and play baseball
in college.

This is still the rule.

The NCAA has slightly modified their eligibility rules in cases like
Bubba. Basically, a player's eligibility clock starts when they either
1) enroll in a class or 2) sign a pro sports contract. So, even if
Bubba had not enrolled in school (which he did, of course), then his
clock started as soon as he signed the Royals contract. His
eligibility is up 5 years from today, barring any other changes in
NCAA regulations.

This rule applies to Bubba, and would also have affected players like
Chris Weinke and Brandon Weedn if it had been in force a few years
ago.

Bubba's gone, and he's not coming back.
