Hi Nikhil, I don't see a fundamental problem working with two mentors, but you'll need to have a very good reason to propose such a thing. I think proposals are stronger if they propose to do only one thing, and go in more depth for that thing.
As for the matroid project: I feel this year's ideas benefit from a student who has taken a course in matroid theory, or at least seen matroids as part of a more broad combinatorics course.
