It is the same way in basketball it has always been like this. It doesn't matter though The Pioneer football players feed off of it.

Dixie beat the neers last year in basketball.

Well we know who the little guy behind the curtain is........

Yes we do a 5'8 SK fan. Lol.

Last time SK came to Dixie a they lost. Same result Friday night.

This is what your going to see Friday night!!!

 

Senior Year - Barry Deaton highlights

Nice player. Hey why don't you spend your time sending that out to D1 schools BGP isn't going to help him play next year!

Hard to believe anyone would send their kid to a school just to play a sport. This happens all the time. At the end of the day of the kid is good he will play. Coaches want to win!! I can't see putting the house up for sale just to play a sport. Unfortunately I have seen this happen more than a few times.

Won't happen with Deaton crushing up the middle.

Not going to happen. This Dixie line is blocking at a high level. Very big.

Financial Aid – All Sports.a. You are not eligible if you receive financial aid other than the nonathletic financialaid that your school distributes. However, it is permissible to receive: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are speaking from information you found on the internet. Bejorno.

 

What if you were to come to find that many of the people telling you that you are wrong had been thought the recruiting process and know first hand how it works?

 

You say 22 percent, my son was offered 50% scholarship to a D3 school which made the cost of a very expensive D3 education not much more then a state college. That offer did not include any need based money.

 

My son was recruited by virtually every D3 school in the eastern US. I have some experience in what is offered.

 

My son was also recruited by many NAIA colleges, a few D2 colleges, and a few small D1 colleges.

 

He ended up excepting a scholarship to prestigious NAIA school that has a total tuition cost comparably to that of a D3 school. Our contribution to his tuition is very low.

All the article is pointing out is. As a whole D3 schools don't give anymore grant based money to an athlete than a normal student.

Could not of said it any better, outstanding reply.

so the ncaa is wrong??

To keep everyone honest, the NCAA requires each Division III school to report how much money it gives to students who play sports and how much money it gives to nonathletes. Those numbers show that athletes at Division III schools, on average, aren't getting significantly more money than nonathletes. Sports players make up 21 percent of the student body at Division III schools, he said. In recent years, the NCAA has found that athletes receive 22 percent of all the scholarship dollars handed out by Division III schools.

Couldn't agree more.

 

Thjere are DI schools with players on the team that even if they are walk ons may never see the field their entire time there as well as DIII players. At the same time, as you pointed out, there are some very talented players through all levels of college ball that are really really talented but for some reason or another may be playing at a lower level than DI but that doesn't make them any less talented.

 

There is a reason many Pro's you read about started going to Junior Colleges for instance. I believe both Chad Johnson and Steve Smith played at the same Junior College at the same time.

I do agree that there are very good players at lower levels. Some D3 schools use Football to increase enrollment. School has 800 students 125 of them play football??

Maybe he's one of the NOT ALL, at this point. Congrats on Mr. Hedger signing with AP. If you're a true Dixie backer, I'd think you'd like as many players from your school to get offers as possible. It sounds as if your upset other player from Dixie are getting looked at? JMO.

Wow relax----- JMO

Who cares? You act as if D3 isn't football. You do realize not every DIII team will let you play if you want to don't you? If not, please feel free to pm me and I will fill you in on that subject. Also DIII can give other types of scholarships to you, you can play for just about nothing at some schools. Also as was stated earlier in a topic, not the best go and play DI, many times better players don't go DI and go DIII or NAIA or DII. Happens all the time. If you don't have the size or speed then you won't get a look from DI the majority of the time, doesn't mean you can't play or that you aren't better than many that go DI.

SAN ANTONIO—Only about 2 percent of high school athletes are offered even a small sports scholarship from a Division I or Division II college. As a result, many high school athletes who are realistic about their chances sometimes hope their speed and strength might win them a "leadership" or similarly euphemistic scholarship from one of the 444 Division III colleges (mostly expensive private schools) that aren't supposed to lure game-winners with money.

But that's not realistic either, says Eric M. Hartung, associate director of research for the NCAA.

The NCAA has figured out such dodges. It bars college coaches from even "indirectly influencing" scholarship decisions at Division III schools. That means a call, or even a wink, from a coach to a financial aid officer shouldn't improve a student's odds of winning a grant. "The coach can tell the student who to call" in the financial aid office to apply for aid, "but that's it," Hartung said.

To keep everyone honest, the NCAA requires each Division III school to report how much money it gives to students who play sports and how much money it gives to nonathletes. Those numbers show that athletes at Division III schools, on average, aren't getting significantly more money than nonathletes. Sports players make up 21 percent of the student body at Division III schools, he said. In recent years, the NCAA has found that athletes receive 22 percent of all the scholarship dollars handed out by Division III schools.

If a Division III university offers a "leadership" scholarship, it cannot consider factors such as team captainship, Hartung said. As a result, he said, some colleges are now telling applicants not to include athletic accomplishments on such scholarship applications.

The NCAA has even cracked down on seemingly innocuous scholarship programs such as those targeted at Canadians. At one school, a disproportionate number of the Canadians happened to play hockey, so the NCAA objected, Hartung said.

Studer, Burns, Stokes....cmon man...

Look most D1 schools have 2015 recruits committed by now. There will be a few outstanding players who get late offers. If your D1 recurring will happen before your senior season most not all.

Studer, Burns, Stokes....cmon man...

Lol that's a good one.

And wow. If Dixie has maybe 2 FBS players and at least one FCS player on the team. They should beat every team in NKY and compete for a state title.

If all this D1 talk is true billy bob and Moore goes D1. That would be 4. If Sixie doesn't win 6a state something is wrong with the coaching staff.

Good to see you back UK#1, we missed you. Yes, the Machlitt kid from Dixie is a Hot topic right now for almost ALL the Div. 1 Mac schools, my peeps are telling me, and from what I'm hearing. He's the flavor of the week I guess. He is having a monster year at this point, and yes, I've seen him play twice and, YES, he's the real deal, 6' 3' 235 or so, guessing, from what I've seen. He might be as athletic as any player in NKY, he looks like a similar version of Connor Barwin, who played at UC> IMO, he'll be playing OLB, as a pass rusher, in college, if in fact he get's a Div 1 offer. Next week game between SK and Dixie, should be epic. Good to see you back UK#1 fan, good luck to SK the rest of the way.

Last season:

D1 FBS - 39

D1 FCS - 33

D2 - 13

D3 - 19

NAIA - 62

 

So far this season there are 40 D1 offers to Kentucky football players.

Why even list D3 or NAIA?? All d3 pay to play. If you want to play start at the HS level. Your on the team. Not all but most. NAIA does give a few scholarships. 15 I think. But most spead among many players. Again pay to play. D2 same.

Wow that's big shoes to follow. Most will have offers at this point. Not all but most.

Give me examples of the PWO kids that turned down smaller D1 schollies.

why would UK offer you PWO if a smaller D1 school didn't offer at all?? Think about it. Offers come in bunches.

Huh? How many were there last year?

About 30 will get full rides. Another 10 to 20 PWO at a D1 school. Now most of the PWO kids could have had smaller school D1 full rides but chose to take there chances at the FBS school.

I spoke with a guy from louisville who covers high school football he said this year's class is projected to have about 30 to 35 d1 commits in Kentucky. 2016 is expected to have alot more.

That's about right. Around 35 will get full rides. Ukfan things every SK player gets that honor. Ok them 35 out of how many HS seniors in ky?? answer. 1000s

Sophomore Cameron Racke is my vote for QB 210 rushing yards 7 tds and 1153 yards passing 67% 14 tds.

Come on. You got to be kidding BGPs

You must be well informed. The email that came from Dixies head coach was only addressed to those 3 players. Lol. Saying. I've never in all my years had so many D1 coaches come to look work out kids.

Not just local D1 schools. Schools from NY Michigan Indiana Tennesee Virginia New Mexico.

Just because you don't get an offer doesn't mean anything. You can still end up playing college football.

As long as you pay to play. Sure.

I knew that, I thought you were talking about JR's
