After the completion of the first basketball season, he can start running track, swimming, playing baseball, playing football... anything he wants. But not until the scholarship sport's first season is complete.
The NCAA has a pecking order for scholarships. It goes by revenue. Football is #1. Then basketball. So if a player plays both, it counts against football.

No matter what other sport a player plays, if one of them is football the scholarship counts as a football scholarship.
