Question
I have a boyfriend who loves football and is willing to go to college so football can be his career. My question is, do you know any colleges that offer football as a career?

Answer
Lilly, hello!

When you hear of a school that is called Football University, most fans know that is the big time colleges that groom for the NFL.  Schools like Florida State, Miami, Florida, Southern California, Ohio State, etc.  All of them will promote football, but grades come first.

He needs to determine the degree he wishes to obtain.  If he does not make football as a career, then he will have another planned career to be successful with.  

I have attached many websites for your review.  He can enroll in smaller colleges and still have an opportunity to spend a career in football, as a player, coach, scout, sports reporter, etc.  


Take care,

Thom Brooks
