College Sports

It looks good because it shows that you have interests that you are able to balance with your academic load. Don't forget that there are things that look way better on your application than sports.

Oklahoma State University is the only university in the U.S. that offers a bachelor's degree in sports media. Oklahoma State also has links to universities around the world that offer courses in sports journalism. A handful of universities offer a course in sports journalism, including Penn State, Texas and Indiana.

i read that 3% of college students are in athletics and 30% of fortune 500 ceo are former college athletes. I cannot find the source of my data.

you have to get that from the coach and it is when you sit on the sidelines for the season and you learn the teams playbook

FBS stands for Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly called Division I-A. This is in contrast to the FCS, or Football Championship Subdivision, formerly known as Division I-AA. The "Bowl" vs "Championship" refers to how the 2 divisions play their post-season, with the former Division I-A teams playing in bowl games and the former Division I-AA teams playing in a playoff series culminating with a true national championship game.

Probably harvard, stanford, yale, and schools like that

UCLA with 100 official NCAA Championships. I suspect they also lead with total national championships in sports like men's rugby and volleyball, and women's basketball before those sports offered official NCAA championships, but I'd like to know the total number. USC, when their favorite athletes aren't commiting double murders (not an official NCAA sport, but they're working on it), claims 107. My guess is UCLA has 115 or so at least.

yes but you need to maintin 12 credit hours at that university to play. This is just my personal expirience, it may be different in other schools

about 1-100,000

American College of Sports Medicine was created in 1954.

English football teams with names beginning with U are:

50-100

probably because they forsee more money in a professional job instead of going to college and being a "normal" person. This is not always true, there are some great jobs you can have if you go to college as well.

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 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.

4 years

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.

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).

Colleges are put into divisions based upon the size of the school. They are also put into divisions on the size of their sports organizations.

The three most popular college sports in the US are basketball, football and soccer. However there are others, swimming is very competitive, there are also rugby union, lacrosse and volleyball. There are also relatively new sports that are popular, such as Ultimate Frisbee.

Twice. One was to the Kentucky Wildcats basketball program for the 1952-1953 season and the other to the Southern Methodist University football program for the 1987 football season. Click on the 'NCAA Death Penalty' link on this page to learn about these two programs.
