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/
