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.
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,

Try college tennis on line:

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!
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
im a sophomore, and everybody keeps telling me that if i joint a sport it will look good for colleges. but the problem is i don’t like any of the sports at my school.
Not all students choose to participate in sports in order to get into university. That’s impossible as everyone has different likes and dislikes. And it’s mainly the private universities that would be most interested as to what one’s extracurricular activities are. Sports figure a lot because Americans put so much emphasis on athletics (e.g. sports scholarships). However, one may participate in other extracurricular activities and still be accepted. As long as you have at least one extracurricular and do your best in it then you’ll be fine.
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 go to a school where we don’t get scouted by schools at all and wanted to know if i could play division 1,2,3 sports? If it’s even possible.
Not poss,.
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.
I am president of a college swim club. Need some ideas to make some money and also donate some. Reminder: College kids can’t pay for much. Maybe a community fundraising? or asking from companies.
Hey Rhea
You could do something really simple. You get some scratch cards, put your emblem on them to personalize them. A donor scratches a circle and for a couple of bucks gets coupons to local restaurants. Each card comes with free shipping and raised over $100. It just needs to get done.
College students may not have a lot of money, so black tie diners are out, BUT they like to eat. You can do other things like have a BBQ or sell snacks. These ideas can be combined with any other fundraising campaign you put on.
How about a trivia night at a local bar?
Im talking like football mostly, but you can also say something about baseball, or basketball also. Im just curious to see what people have to say. My buddy thinks Hiram College in Ohio is the worst college ever in sports, but I think there is a lot of other bad schools. Let me know what you think thanks a lot!
It varies from year to year. D3 colleges don’t give out athletic scholarships, so it all depends on the kids that want to go to that school for academics. Also, the worst college in sports would be a college without sports. Some is better than none. Even a bad team still goes out there, practices and gives it their all. I would give any college athlete props for competing not for a scholarship, but for the love of the game in college.
