Answer - no idea. Do they have offers ???

Grades, SAT’s, height, weight, connections, help from their schools, and overall college marketability all factor into offers. If a kid doesn’t have offers it doesn’t mean he isn’t a top player. I’ve seen lots of kids who were capable of playing D1 not make it for different reasons.

So basically the all met qbs are not very good this year. They are not in fact the best qbs in the area. By the way, if you think college coaches care about SATa for football players, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Outside of D1 FBS, college coaches 100000% very much care about GPA/grades and SAT scores.

That's kind of a strange comment. Schools like Montana State (FCS national champion) already have like 87% acceptance rates. I don't think they care much about GPA/grades or SAT Scores for anyone. There are tons of FCS schools like that.

If you mean Ivy, Patriot league or high academic D3 schools...well, OK, but there aren't many colleges that comprise this group.

Pioneer League, Patriot League, Ivy League made up a large portion of that FCS bracket this year…

Based on the playoff brackets, only 4 out of 24 selective schools made the FCS playoffs. Harvard, Yale, Lehigh and Villanova (Villanova made it to the semifinals). UC Davis was kind of the middle...the rest are all 75%+ acceptance rate schools.

Right off the rip I know this is false. Nephew plays at Drake. They have an under 75% acceptance rate. I swear people just say things forgetting everything is so easily fact checked these days.

You know what they say, “43.658% of statistics are made up on the spot”.

Mrs. 75% acceptance rate clearly makes up that other 25%.

LOL and now shes’s claiming she can GUARANTEE what specific coaches do and don’t care about. That ladies whole argument went out the window when she started just making up numbers to fit her opinion

You sound like a complete dipshit. You think the Drake football coach cares about a recruited player's GPA and test scores? Considering they accept non-athletes with an 1100, and here's the kicker...with only 23% of accepted applicants submitting an SAT or ACT...pretty sure if you have a pulse and can throw or catch that ball really well, then you are good to go.

80% of four year schools in America are test optional. This isn’t the making the argument you think it is.

And 80%+ of four year schools in America accept just about everyone (actually more than that)...however, it wasn't the fact that they are test optional, but that they accept nearly 80% of their students without submitting test scores, and they accept kids with an 1100 who do submit.

Again...are you trying to claim that Drake University cares about your GPA and test scores for a football recruit? Really?

How can you have more than 80%+? Sick pleonasm, fitting right in with that 25% of FCS rejects lol

9/24 (at least) is a pretty significant amount. At least a third of the bracket!

Patriot and Ivy League were 4 colleges.

Pioneer League had 1 (Drake).

Where are the other 4?

This chick is definitely in the 25%

Drake is a non scholarship football school. Acceptance rate maybe high, but if you don’t have good grades you will be paying a lot of money. Lots of lower level division one is similar. Small athletic money, but potentially high academic money. Fancy cookies.

Not really:

100% of qualifying full-time undergraduate students admitted directly from high school receive a Presidential Scholarship, covering 51-66% of tuition cost. 100% of first-time transfer students receive 45-55%.

Yes, really.

Students/Athletes would utilize the Presidential Scholarship to get the TUITION down to right around the national average… 51-66% of TUITION can still be nearly $30k and that doesn’t include room and board.

Maybe we’re all not Mrs. Money Bags, but where I come from $29k for tuition + room and board for a year of school is pretty expensive.

Except you missed the point...100% of all kids accepted to Drake from high school get this benefit. The football player who may have 1000 SATs (if he even submits them...only 20% do) and mediocre grades gets the Presidential Scholarship the same as any other accepted kid.

Yep, this lady is definitely the 25%.

Whelp - the all met nonsense and the Wapo sports section is essentially done. Bezos would rather spend his money promoting other BS.

Nobody who hasn’t been thru it understands who college football recruiting works. Grades, SAT, etc mean nothing. Even the ivies take kids from private schools with less than 1200.

It’s right there in the link…100% of all accepted kids from HS receive the scholarship.

Rather than just cut tuition, the school keeps its rack rate high to make it seem more prestigious than it is.
