There's a sort of pecking order with scholarship allocations. Football is at the top of the list. Otherwise schools would get around the football limits by giving kids track and baseball scholarships and having them "walk on" to the football team.
Basketball has the same potential so it's 2nd on the list behind football.
Hammersmith has explained it well several times over the years.

So let's say he's gets a 1/4 scholarship for football and getting a full for wrestling. Does it count against both teams?

Whatever he gets, 100% of it counts towards football. It's as simple as it can be.
Go to page 210. There's a nice, easy flowchart.

Thanks to Miami football giving Santana Moss and a couple other guys track scholarships back in the late 90's early 2000's to expedite the rebuilding process at the U.

Regardless of which sport pays his education the first year, Mr. Willis will receive five years of free education.......damn, the burdens we all must bear..........

With the amount of work and sacrifice student-athletes put out for their education, I wouldn't claim it as "free."

Very true !!! I stand corrected.
Re: 2017 Verbal: Zach Willis
Also, we were actually talking about Metz, not Willis. Willis is on a FB scholarship, Metz is a FB walk-on and wrestling scholarship.
Winning is Gr8 could be correct about Metz's scholarship being counted against wrestling as long as he never plays in a game. The rules are a bit vague on that. It's one of those "it doesn't say it's forbidden, so it must be allowed" sort of situations.
Here's what it says:
Quote:
In football, a counter who was not recruited (per Bylaw 15.02.8) and/or offered financial aid to participate in football and who competes in football and one or more sports (including basketball) must be counted in football (see Bylaw 15.5.9.1).
It does use the word 'compete' rather than 'participate'. So you might be able to say that someone who gets aid for competing in another sport can practice with the FB team without counting against FB as long as it's limited to practice.
