The NCAA oversees most U.S. college sports.

I'm sure they can study whatever they want. They just have something extra to worry about in school besides their education. They focus on their specific sport and go to school to get a degree in a field they can fall back on after their glory years.

The simple answer to this question is: Possibly

The detailed answer is: There is a lot involved in playing sports in college. Not all colleges offer football and not all colleges offer basketball. If a college does offer these sports, usually the general student population cannot just suddenly decide they want to play and sign up. Coaches go to high schools across the country and recruit the best players available. This is even the case with Junior Colleges- not just the big Universities.

It is possible for a student who wasn't recruited to try out for a team, these students are called "walk-ons". If the student is talented enough, he can beat out the recruited players and earn a spot on the team.

It is also possible for an athletic student to play multiple sports in college. It isn't the easiest thing to do- the student will have plenty of competition- but if he is the best player available for both teams and has coaches who are willing to work with him, it is definitely a possibility. Basketball and football have the added problem of overlapping season. However, while it is unlikely there have been students known to make the teams and excel in both.

i read that 3% of college students are in athletics and 30% of fortune 500 ceo are former college athletes. I cannot find the source of my data.

you have to get that from the coach and it is when you sit on the sidelines for the season and you learn the teams playbook

FBS stands for Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly called Division I-A. This is in contrast to the FCS, or Football Championship Subdivision, formerly known as Division I-AA. The "Bowl" vs "Championship" refers to how the 2 divisions play their post-season, with the former Division I-A teams playing in bowl games and the former Division I-AA teams playing in a playoff series culminating with a true national championship game.

Probably harvard, stanford, yale, and schools like that

UCLA with 100 official NCAA Championships. I suspect they also lead with total national championships in sports like men's rugby and volleyball, and women's basketball before those sports offered official NCAA championships, but I'd like to know the total number. USC, when their favorite athletes aren't commiting double murders (not an official NCAA sport, but they're working on it), claims 107. My guess is UCLA has 115 or so at least.

yes but you need to maintin 12 credit hours at that university to play. This is just my personal expirience, it may be different in other schools

about 1-100,000
