Pubkeybreaker...

Sports "scholarship" is an oxymoron.

People deserve scholarships because they are good students.

A 7-foot nitwit with the IQ of a cabbage does not deserve a
"scholarship" for dunking a ball through a hoop.

I think that colleges should do away with sports scholarships
entirely. And they should stop letting in students who lack
academic qualifications but are let in anyway because they can
catch a football.

EXPOSURE: get maximum exposure to your athletic abilities, because if
coaches can't see you, they can't recruit you.

START EARLY: start your recruitment efforts early, in your freshman or
sophomore years, this way you wont have to rush when you are senior.

SCOUT: scout colleges like they would scout you, find out what it takes
to get in their program, and what they look for in potential students.

PREPARATION: start preparing for your college entrance exams (i.e. SAT,
ACT) early, this will help you do better on the actual exams.

VOLUNTEER: volunteer in community service programs, not just to get
recruited, but because it makes you a better person.

The recruitment statement is an online profile that spotlights your
personal, academic, and athletic achievements. To get started
