College Football Recruiting
February 23, 2007
Fair to smaller Division I schools?
It seems as though a white-colar recruiting class has formed in the College Football recruiting spectrum. Colleges today offer more and more degrees than ever before.It is hard to find a Major that is not offered at a Division 1 school.They want to attract as many students as possible. Makes Sense.
But the downfall is; Are Colleges using dollar figures to persuade top high-school prospects to come play at their school? Of course! They know they can get away with it.
For example. Consider that you are a high-school football player andÂ
you are offered scholarships like the senerio below;
Florida $60,000/per yr
Rutgers $32,00/per yr
Would’nt you take Florida just for the bigger bucks? Sounds like a better value.
Even though its possible that you would get a better education at Rutgers.
Higher priced schools seem to produce better football teams. Lower tuition rates hurt smaller schools when recruiting prospective players. Hence, this kills the development of football programs. However, sometimes there are exceptions; like PennState. 
In this case, students may pick the smaller bucks offered because of the reputation Penn State holds.
Agree or Disagree?
