Considering applying for some college opportunities, maybe Graduate Assistant position after this HS season. 41 years old too old to start at the collegiate level?

More than a game. Hoping this young man has a speedy recovery
NAIA Family! One of our own went down bad yesterday. @mayville_FB QB Matt Donovan had a head injury that resulted in him being life flighted to a hospital in Fargo.
Please donate if you are able.

Insane that kids are transferring within their city, and are able to play right away but a kid coming from a out of state 100% due to his parents changing jobs has to sit half the season…what are we doing AIA? To be clear, I think kids should have freedom to play where they want
COACHES, check out my guy, the young man is an ATHLETE! Big play waiting to happen on either side of the ball. Full FAFSA

THIS! I preach to my kids, it’s great to have D1 aspirations, but have to be realistic and take the opportunities in front of you. No two paths are the same.
Congratulations to everybody signing today! And to the ones that aren’t, keep working, learning, and grinding there is still plenty of time!
Coaches, have a LB/FB that will help the culture of any team. Leader with high football IQ. Hardest worker on the team

The more you know!
Some coaches forget to explain this clearly:
FCS Football:
•63 scholarships total
•90+ players on the roster
•Average scholarship value: ~$14,000
(FCS programs do not have 90 full rides — those 63 are split across the entire team.)
Division II:
•36 scholarships total
•90+ players on the roster
•Average scholarship value: ~$6,000
(D2 schools also split scholarships. Very few players receive anything close to a full ride.)
NAIA:
•24 scholarships total
•90+ players on the roster
•Average scholarship value: ~$8,400
This is exactly why coaches tell athletes to take academics seriously.
Everybody is not getting a full ride.
Most athletes are getting partial athletic aid + academic aid + grants just to get their balance down.
So when a coach says your balance is $0, that usually means they used your academics first, then added some football money to close the gap.
