Considering that the NBA drafts out of the college system, the way you get into college (highs school diploma vs, GED) isn't going to matter much. They are going to evaluate your college ball before making a draft selection.

If a college athlete plays a sport for a community college does this count toward NCAA eligibility?

Asked by Wiki User

If it is a Junior College (JuCo) and part of the NJCAA, then yes, but the two years you play at a Juco I believe only counts for one year on the NCAA level granted a NCAA school wants you to play for them.

How do college students benefit from sports?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I love sports, but if I'm honest with you, unless they have a future in professional sports, they don't benefit at all. Sports can be a distraction from studies, and those important lessons about teamwork and being unselfish were hopefully learned at a much earlier age than in college.

I disagree with this!! Even if you are not going to be a professional there are many benefits to sports in college. First, the exercise. Everyone can always use exercise! According to Harvard Grad School of Public Health students who exercise 4 hours per week reduce their chances of heart attack, stroke, back problems, osteoporosis, and many other health problems by 50%. Sports also increases self esteem, improves grades, gives one better social skills and allows them to be a team player, gives opportunities for scholarships, and allows the students to travel. There are many more benefits--this is just to throw some out there.

How long do you go to college to become a sports analyst?

Asked by Wiki User

Theoretically, you could be a sportswriter without a degree, depending on where you chose to write about sports and whether you had something else on the side to pay the bills. Writers can start from anywhere. However, good preparation would generally be a 4-year degree in Journalism (some schools have a sports specialization).

Asked by Wiki User

For some incomprehensible reason, DISH Network and DirecTV do not include FOX College Sports channel. Maybe, with all the money we pay for programming, they will give us the channels we will actually watch and maybe get rid of a few of the dozens of shopping and infomercial channels.
