[Fly Like a Duck]

Fly Like a Duck, you are correct on so many levels. Basketball is a great sport and kids should play it, but most of the time, you can't make a collegiate career out of it. Football at the D1 level offers 7 times more scholarships than basketball, and all the way down to D III and NAIA, there are way more scholarships to go around. So I agree, unless your 6'7 and balling or can shoot 65% from the 3 point line at 5'10, if you want to be a college athlete, you may have to look to another sport besides basketball, and that's just the basic fact of the matter.

Finally, somebody who sees the light like me! :welcome:Great points. Great points by stating the scholarship facts. I'm waiting for others (those that think Rupp is going to come back, cringing at reading these posts) to find the NCAA scholarship allotment facts. I know the site and will post them later, just waiting for others to face up to the harsh reality.

I will tell this much, though. Kids have a better chance at receiving a Full Ride, NCAA Division II (KY Wesleyan, Carson-Newman, etc) football scholarship more than they do in NCAA Div. 1 and NCAA Div. 2 basketball combined!
