I went to college in 2006, and played college soccer that year, how ever I droped out that same year before without finishing my freshman year. If I were to go back to college would I be able to play a college sport again?
Yes, you can still play. There isn’t an age limit.
I want to play college softball, however, I am set to graduate with one degree at the end of this semester. However, I was planning on going back for another degree next fall. I won’t be pursuing a graduate degree, it’ll be another bachelors. Am I eligible to play?
It depends on how many years of college softball you have already played. If this upcoming season is your 4th year of playing college softball, then you will have used up all of your college eligibility, and therefore will be ineligible to play college softball during the following academic year, when you plan on getting another bachelor’s degree.
However, if this upcoming season is only your 3rd year of playing college softball, then you will have one more year of eligibility to play college softball the following season, while you pursue another bachelor’s degree.
I am currently majoring in Physical Therapy and minoring in Sports Medicine.. My dream job would be to work for the University of Tennessee. Although before I get my hopes up, I just want to make sure that college sports teams have a PT on staff. And if they do, do they get free access to the games? Also do they have the same PT for all sports?
-Thanks!
most teams have trainers not PTs.
I’m obviously familiar with college varsity sports, but I keep hearing about intramural, intercollegiate, and club sports in college. I’d like to know what exactly these mean and what the differences are between them. Specifically regarding gymnastics, if possible. Thanks!
honestly, I have no idea. You should try to schedule an interview with a college coach to find out more about this.
I am hopefully gonna start college in the Fall & I’d like to play some sort of sport. I was thinking softball since I played a little in 8th grade.
Anywho, I was just wondering what happens during these tryouts?
Do you already have to be pretty good with experience, etc.?
Do they train whoever tries out?
Can someone like me who appears to be in shape but is really not and played softball VERY briefly about 5 years ago be considered for a team?
Your response is greatly appreciated! ;]
I’m afraid you won’t be considered for a team, the overwhelming majority of college athletes have lots of experience and are recruited by the college to play for them. You could try to play for an intramural team, most colleges have intramural sports teams.
I’m curious, if college sports teams really do bring in less than they cost, then why do we have them. Can anyone tell me if they do cost more than they bring in?
Any school that fields a football team gets most of their sports-revenue from that team. Football usually pays for the other sports, as they bring in little to nothing in revenue. Football is king in America.
I think they should get a reasonable stipend maybe $3,000 – $4,000 a semester. I don’t think it is discrimination to pay male football players a bigger salary than male athletes who play other sports like wrestling, track, or volleyball or female athletes because they bring in more revenue than those other sports. I think the only requirement is that the stipend should be the same at every school and supervised by the NCAA.
I think they should be compensated somehow but I’m not sure what form it should take. The problem with a $3 or 4,000 dollar stipend is it wont stop cheating. You’ll offer 4,000 and some other school will offer 5,000 or 10,000 under the table and try to recruit you to their school. I think the best way is to put the money in a trust that the player will get upon graduation.
I really want to watch more college sports rather than football and tennis… don’t we all wish that there as more media coverage for the college sports?
Get the Big Ten Network it routinely shows Big Ten Lacrosse, Wrestling, Diving, Swimming, Gymnastics, softball, and some Hockey.
I am a girl and all I care about when I wear stuff is the colors and if it looks good. But when I do where sports stuff all my guy friends are like "Oh that team sucks!". So what are some good teams that no one can make fun of but still have good colors. But I know there will still be haters of any teams.
…personally i like the Ohio state logo but idk what sport they even play so just tell me some good tea,s.
It does not matter if they are good or not. Choose the team that interests you the most. If you find yourself liking ohio state then like ohio state and do not let anyone tell you different. everyone is going to have their opinion on whether or not they like the team so you shouldnt let what they say effect your choice. and by the way Ohio State is very very good in most of there sports. and who ever said they suck is probably a michigan fan because its there rival.
I am a Texas Tech fan and I will stay one even though we suck right now, because there is always a chance for any college team to become better or worse.
I want to study something like exercise science, sports medicine, or athletic training. Could I go to the athletic office at the college im attending to get a internship or voulenteer? If so what kind of work would I be doing? Also, I want to be playing college hockey so would this help at all with job oppertunities?
Thanks for your help.
Most of the time you do interning with an athletic team at your school. Playing a sport doesn’t do much for job opportunities in athletic training.
