Stats by the Primary Research Group
8.4% of the students in the sample participate in a college sports team. Nearly four times as many private than public college students played college sports.
An astounding 26.92% of students at colleges with fewer than 2,000 full time equivalent students play college sports while only 2.2% of students at colleges with more than 25,000 students do so.
What do these statistics mean? There are a lot of schools out there! If you are serious about playing college sports, you need to realize that most of your opportunities will exist at smaller schools that you may not have heard of. You need to widen your horizon and look at schools of all types across America.
