College Scholarship Information

What are the odds?
 Cedric W. Dempsey, NCAA President

      Instead of focusing on which college can lead to a career in the pros, consider that:

  • There are nearly one million high-school football players and about 500,000 basketball players. Of that number, about 150 make it to the NFL and about 50 make an NBA team.
  • Less than three percent of college seniors will play one year in professional basketball.
  • The odds of a high-school football player making it to the pros at all - let alone having a career - are about 6,000 to 1; the odds for a high-school basketball player - 10,000 to 1.

      Take a hard look at those numbers and think about what will matter in the long run - a college education.  http://www.ncaa.org/cbsa/
