[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t read entire thread…but football if you are aiming for academic D1 schools (Ivy, Patriot League and the league that Georgetown is in).

Not enough smart kids play football because of head injuries, but every school has a team and they need to recruit lots of them.

These schools also have lightweight football teams…which I have never understood.  It’s not a D1 sport, but I still assume they recruit for some players?[/quote]

They do not, and if you think football is the easiest you're sadly mistaken.  The level of competition is extremely high, and your remark of "not enough smart kids" playing smacks of racism since over 50% of college players are black while being roughly 13% of the population.

There are over 1 million kids playing high school football in the US.  There are roughly 125 Division 1 programs, each with 85 scholarships. The odds of receiving a Division 1 football scholarship are less than 1%.

Educate yourself.

I specifically listed conferences that don’t give athletic scholarships or minimal athletic scholarships.  Not to mention all the D3 schools with teams.

The recent settlement increases roster sizes to 105 with scholarships.

I am actually fairly educated on the topic yet you seem to need to maybe pay attention.

In fact, as I will state once more, football is one of the best ways to get recruited to D1 schools that don’t give much or zero in football scholarships.[/quote]
