Not really much different than if student-athlete wants to participare in intramurals...and that happens all the time.

But that being said...it would take out a lot of time to play club baseball and I seriously doubt it would be feasible...nor would it be fair to the baseball team having someone just show up every once in a while.

In regards to the Rugby team (btw, anyone remember the Rugger house? ...back behind the UC service building on 5th street)...we only practiced once a or twice a week and only probably had 6 matches all spring (so it wasn't a huge time commitment)...and now that I think about it, I am not sure if the coaches had any idea that this guy was playing with us (in retrospect, considering the high amount on injuries in Rugby...they would have probably freaked out)

Man...as creaky as I am now, I couldn't imagine being a rugger anymore. I got knocked unconscious once...and thought it was funny (when I woke up). Now I just shake my head thinking about it.
