Q. What is a combine and why do teams need them?

Answer: Simply put, a combine is a special testing/scouting environment in which a players size, strength, speed and agility are properly tested and made available to Universities throughout the country.

The role and purpose of the combines has increased in importance throughout the years and now functions in role similar to the S.A.T test in the college educational system. As the colleges rely on the S.A.T program to compare students from different high schools and grading standards, the college coaches rely on combines to provide a standardized format within which to compare football players from different playing backgrounds, high schools and coaching systems.

The combine tests measure each critical aspect of physical talent (size, speed, quickness and strength) and allows for fundamental skill evaluations through repetitions of position specific drills.

Recruiting never stops.
 
 
Q. What Do College Divisions Designations Mean?

Answer: As of the 1996-97 school year, the NCAA had classified 305 colleges as Division I, 246 as Divisions II, and 352 as Divisions III. ( In football, Division I is further divided into Division I-A and I- AA.) Most high school athletes probably dream of playing at the Division I level in front of packed stadiums and large TV audience. Schools a the Division II, III levels are usually smaller colleges. However a college becomes categorized as Division I, II, or III not by the size of its student body or the success of its athletic program but by factors such as the seating capacity of its football stadium. If thirty thousand or more fans can fit into the football stadium, or if the college has averaged more than seventeen thousand in paid attendance per home football game over the previous four years, then it meets the criteria of Division I-A; smaller football seating capacities or attendance earn the school status in another division.

Q. How many Scholarships Can Each Division Give?

Answer: As of 1996, a Division I school could award eighty-five scholarships; at Division II, the limit was thirty-six; and at Division III, no scholarships were available.
