SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL FROM COACH ERIC SANCHEZ

Here are some facts that I compiled for my presentation for tomorrow interesting facts!!!!!

In California there are 22 four year colleges and universities that offer football as an intercollegiate sport
7 of those schools are division I-A
4 of those schools are division I-AA
1 of those schools is division II
9 of those schools are division III
1 of those schools is NAIA

12 of those schools offer what is generally called a football scholarship.

In the United States it gets a lot better though:

In the United States there are a total of 710 college football programs from Division 1 Division 1-AA Division 2 Division 3 & NAIA

Divsion III having the most @ 239
Division I-A @ 132
Division I-AA @117
Division II @ 129
NAIA 93

Here is where it gets deep!!!

Since division III does not offer a football scholarships and not counting the non scholarship pioneer league that USD is now competeing in 463 of the 710 football playing 4 year school offer football scholarships

Just some facts i researched. So 463 schools are looking for good talent each year to compete for championships.
