[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basketball and football are the only sports to give full rides for everyone on the roster.

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Not entirely true. These sports can give partial scholarships, but it still counts as a full “head” thus, not freeing up any space for more athletes to share the scholarship so to speak. [/quote]

Plus there are D1 schools like ivies that don’t give any scholarships.[/quote]

Ivies are not D1.[/quote]

Lolz. I love reading nonsense on this forum [/quote]
