Sports

I feel like in 90’s tv and in conversations with people there’s this stereotype that if you don’t play a high school/college sport you will never have a girlfriend and get married. I’m nervous I’m not really interested in tossing balls through rings but I can’t go unmarried unlike anyone else what should I do?

hehehe , no ofcourse not !
im a cheerleader , i date a football / baseball player.
so i geuss there is an attraction to ppl who are also athletic.. (:
but if your not athletic , dont worry about it ? who cares.. ?
for the most part , ppl fit in cliques.. if you dont fit in the athletic clique..
then youll fit in the band clique , or the drama clique , or chorus , or beta..
theres something for everyone..
theres someone for everyone..
be you and dont worry whats " cool "
promise things will work out. (:
Good Luck ! <3
-hope i helped (:

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I have never been a follower of college sports.
Steven, how can you possibly think that’s a bad move? Now that Asomugha is gone, the team has to rely on some inexperienced talent in the DB positions. Routt is a great cornerback who has a lot of potential to improve.

In college sports redshirting means that an athlete can sit out for their first year. each player is granted 4 years of playing eligibility.
if a player redshirts that means they can not see any playing time.
this pretty much means that a player can be on the team for up to five years.
if they sit out there first year they are called a redshirt freshman. if they play their first year they are called a true freshman.
teams do this because somtimes a player is not ready to go straight onto the playing field so they get the extra year to mentor and develop their skills.

Let’s say I passed college and got sports management as my major, but if I couldn’t find a job dealing with athletics, would I be in trouble? Would I be able to get any other kind of job?

its in demand. so u will get a job

My parents always work and cant drive when they need to to pick me up or drop me off for highschool sports so i was wondering if i could try out for college sports without being recruited straight from highschool?

Yes, you can be a walk on.

I need to find a specific person from an unknown year (most likely in the 70’s), at an unknown college (possibly in ohio). I do, however, know that the sport was women’s tennis, so that may narrow down the possibilities a little. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get started on this seemingly monumental task? Please help.

Thanks in advance,

Or the NCAA website

Good luck!

Which one is harder to get a scholarship to college for, sports or music? And how hard IS it to get a scholarship for sports? Music?

That may be like asking, "how loud is music?". There are SO many variables that effect the answer to your question. Are you looking at Division I, II or III schools for sports? What instrument do you play? How talented/athletic are you? How are your grades? Are you looking for a full ride or just something small?
For sports, Division I & II schools can offer athletic scholarships, while division III schools do not.
If you play a unique instrument (like the bagpipes, for example) you may get a scholarship to a college like Wooster who is known for their bagpipe band.
If you’re an absolute stand out goalie star in soccer, you may be able to find some money to play.

my husband has a soccer player who plays defense, is on an ODP (Olympic Development Program) team and has spectacular grades and references, and right now she has been offered a scholarship that will cover just housing & books by a couple of schools.

Hope this helps!

I’ve always wondered, how come the New York Metropolitan area does not have any major Division 1 College’s along with College Sports teams just like L.A. has USC and UCLA. Is New York just a Professional Sports team town? Pro teams are private institutions that can be moved at the whim of the owner,
The universities are permanent parts of the community with a built in fan base – students, alumni, parents and staff.
I believe Chicago does not have any Division 1 Colleges either right?
how come no D-1 College Football teams?

For one thing, the D1 colleges have HUGE campuses and there’s simply no room in the city to have one the size of USC or UCLA. Most of the colleges are small community colleges.

To the asshole below me: I wasn’t saying that there’s none there because it’s a big city. There’s none there because there’s no room for a large campus. Even second rate schools like Boise State have huge campuses.

I am moving next semester and am starting at a new community college and was thinking about playing soccer. I played in middle school and play for fun with my friends, but I didn’t play in high school. Since I won’t know anyone where I am moving I thought playing a sport in college would be a fun way to make friends. Is it very competitive to get into? The school I am going to offers classes for intercollegiate soccer and I believe they are open to anyone, but am not sure. Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

What you want to do is go to the college’s website and find the Soccer Coach’s e-mail address and write him/her and tell them your plan to attend their school. And find out if they are looking for players. They will tell you if they are (usually they are looking for players for most sports) and what you have to do to try out for the team.

It’s that simple to find out if they need players.

Good luck.

Sports get all this money, what do they do with it? Nice facilities? Do they advertise brand names to get additions to their school? ie: U of O knight library.

You donate money to the school to get a room or a library named after you. I have a room in the U of O law school. They do not advertise anything for me.

Like when I’m out everyone is allways sporting their favorite College team but i never see anyone sporting like an NBA or professional team logo.

i think its cause they represent u..like my father went to UT…and sports the longhorns stuff everywhere…hes proud of where he went i guess lol
