My understanding of the rule is that two sport competition
is O.K. if the sports are both D-I. Remember Charlie Ward in football
and basketball at FSU? It's mixing and matching divisions which is
not permitted. Clarkson, for example, is D-I in hockey, but D-III in
all other sports. We regularly have hockey players who excel at
another sport but can't play. One of our best all-time players, Colin
Patterson (who went on to play many years in the NHL), was, I believe,
a member of the Canadian national lacrosse team in the summer. Colin
stood on the sidelines and watched lacrosse at Clarkson. This rule
dates from sometime in the '70s; I distinctly recall two sport hockey
players in the late '60s. As one might guess, golf was another sport
at which many of them excelled.
