A lot of the younger viewers may not realize this, but getting on scholarship is basically like being given a new car, value-wise. Each year.

@afelaid7781 6 лет назад

a lot of old viewers may not realize this, but playing football for college is basically like having a job value-wise Each year

@dacypher22 6 лет назад

afe laid Oh definitely. But it was a job that walk-ons were doing for free before. I was just noting that some younger people who don't understand how freakishly expensive college is may not understand why it is so emotional.

@ethan4w983 6 лет назад

dacypher22 a lot more than that

@dacypher22 6 лет назад

Damian Lillard 2.0 Well, that depends on the car. A "new car" could be anywhere from $19k up to $100k and more. I would say $19k - $100k per year is about the value of a year of university through a scholarship, and most are going to be closer to the lower-end of that scale. Yes, some colleges get close to $100k or more in tuition, but the very expensive schools either don't have sports or they do not offer full-ride scholarships. An example would be Harvard. Yes, they have a football team but no they do not offer full-ride scholarships, just like all of the other Ivy League schools.

I walked on to my college football team after all the practices work outs 110 yd sprints coach called me to his office and awarded me my scholarship.......my position coach came by and congratulated me. I walked out of there on cloud nine the first person I called was my mama holding back tears she was so happy for me. It was one of the proudest days of my life to achieve my dream. I'm proud of these guys.

This boi lyin his arse off... Even if it was a "small college" guess what... small colleges dont generally give athletic scholarships anyways... Kinda depressing the things people do to feel better about themselves

@austinmooney8577 4 года назад

French Doge looked up his name, dude put up 1400 yds and 23 td as a running back and 60 tackles and 2 forced fumbles as a defensive player and committed to south Alabama, which is a D1 school so they do give scholarships so very possible he’s telling the truth

@DallasFlying 6 лет назад

I was a walk on for New Mexico State for my Junior and Senior year. Although i never got to experience earning a scholarship like these men, In just 2 years as a walk on, i earned a spot on the travel team, earned playing time in every game, and left my senior year a bowl champion. Still a dream come true. Congratulations to these players though, huge huge accomplishment

@mozes42 6 лет назад

I remember when I got mine, and it’s hard to put it into words. You’re on a team where most of the guys already have a ‘ship, and don’t have the perspective of how important each day is. Each practice, each workout, each meeting. Life of a walk-on is impossible to understand unless you’ve lived it.
