Field hockey is like that too. Look at the great schools (UNC). Many are all from Europe.

Every other sports get a handful and spread the wealth amongst the team in the form of partial. So consider spending tons of money on your kid and unless DC is absolute beast, the odds of getting full ride are not that great outside of those 2 sports.

Basketball and football do not give full rides to everyone on the roster. For basketball, teams have 13 scholarships (not all of which are always awarded) and will dress 13 players on game day. But, some scholarship kids will redshirt and kids will be injured. The difference is made up of walk ons -- non scholarship players. There are many more athletes involved in fielding an NCAA team than the number of scholarship players. Teams will have a practice squad that will learn the plays of opponents and scrimmage against the rotation players in practice. Walk ons will sometimes move between those groups.

Football is a full ride unless you decide to be a walk-on for D1 - look at the rules! Basketball for men is a full ride unless you decide to be a walk-on. Look at the rules.

Soccer is this way now too. Most of the teams are at least 50% international students. Men and women. (D1)

Field hockey is 4 times more likely for an American to get a scholarship

How on earth is this racist? She posted a link to the statistics that say this exactly. What is wrong with our country. Everything is racist. You really demote the term racist by calling EVERYONE a racist for no reason. Stop it already. Maybe you are a racist.

Exactly -- football and basketball are NOT FULL RIDES FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROSTER. Walk ons don't get a scholarship. I'm glad you agree with me in correcting PP who said "Basketball and football are the only sports to give full rides for everyone on the roster", which is obviously wrong. Not sure why you phrased your agreement as if it were disagreement, but whatever.

The chart at the link above indicates that 34% of men’s D1 soccer players are international and only 11 percent for women’s soccer. I follow a lot of men’s college soccer teams, and another thing to factor in is that some coaches heavily recruit from overseas year after year while others don’t. It’s a bit of an odd phenomenon since the teams with the highest concentration of overseas players are generally not among the top performing teams, but perhaps it requires less effort from coaches to get fairly decent players.

Florida State (Girls) lots of international players and they are great. Also, international players get full rides, so the more there are the less % of the 14 scholarships for everyone else.

5 starters on basketball and 22 on football. How often do you see players beyond the scholarship counts play? Not very often and the ones that walk on and perform they will get one and someone will be told to move on.

What other team do you know where the starters and a good amount of bench get full rides?
