Playing sports in college is a great experience. Take it from someone who has been there. But the odds of earning an athletic scholarship are not very high.

NCAA Facts

According to the NCAA, there are 346 Division I colleges or universities. There are 6,552 teams at the Division I level with roughly 178,178 Division I student-athletes. Coincidentally, the NCAA has also calculated that only 4% of students at a NCAA Division I institution are athletes.

There are 307 Division II universities. These universities have about 114,541 student-athletes. Also, only about 9% of students at those schools are athletes.

Interesting enough, Division III schools have the most opportunities for student-athletes. There are 439 Division III schools with about 187,483 student-athletes. In addition to all of this, about 16% of Division III universities student bodies are athletes.

Odds of Earning an Athletic Scholarship

Altogether there are more than 480,000 NCAA student-athletes between all three divisions. That’s a small amount compared to the estimated 7,800,000 high school student-athletes out there. The sad part is, that number doesn’t include sports like swimming, tennis, and softball.

Of the 480,000 student-athletes, only 150,000 student-athletes are on scholarship. Just so you don’t have to calculate that divides out to about 31.25%, which is pretty small.

So, the odds of earning an athletic scholarship aren’t very high, but there are plenty of other ways to finance college. Just because receiving an athletic scholarship may be difficult doesn’t mean you can’t be a student-athlete.

Division III universities have the most financial-aid opportunities to offer students. These colleges offer financial aid and scholarships to many if not all of their students. Due to the cost of attendance and the universities scholarship opportunities available.

Division I Athletic Scholarship Money

The odds of earning an athletic scholarship are not impossible, depending on what you consider a scholarship.

There are four sports – football, men’s and women’s basketball, and women’s volleyball* – that can only offer a full scholarship at the Division I level. All other NCAA Division I sports have the opportunity to divide scholarships up by whatever amount the coaching staff desires.

For example, Division I football teams have 85 full ride scholarships. However, Division I football rosters have more than 85 players on the team, but only 85 are on scholarship. A fully funded Division I softball team has 12 scholarships for the coaching staff to divide however they see fit. Splitting those awards means that some athletes may have a full ride while some award amounts are 5 or 10%. It also means that everyone on the team could have some athletic scholarship money.

There are a few exceptions to this rule. The NCAA does not allow Division I baseball scholarships to go below 25%.

Division II Athletic Scholarship Money

Division II athletic scholarships are on a partial scholarship model or as the NCAA calls it the “equivalency” model. Meaning that all awards are divided among players on each team. The distribution and allocation of scholarship funds are up to the coaching staff, which is similar to how most Division I sports can divide their scholarships.

A significant difference between the divisions is that at the Division II level football, men’s and women’s basketball, and women’s volleyball scholarships are dividable.

However, at the beginning of this article, it was noted Division I schools have more student-athletes than Division II. This size difference is due to the difference in roster size and scholarship amounts allotted by the NCAA.

The two charts below show the exact amounts of dividable scholarships between Division I and Division II sports.

Clearly, there are more Division II scholarships than Division I. Meaning there’s a higher chance of an athlete receiving an athletic scholarship at the Division II level because of how they can divide up their scholarships.

All of this goes to show that the odds of earning an athletic scholarship are not high. That is why recruiting is so important, both for college coaches and for high school athletes. Since we crunched the numbers for you, it’s easy to see the limitations coaches have with their budgets and how pivotal recruiting help is for both coaches and athletes.

Don’t wait till it’s too late. Start your recruiting process by contacting a National Scouting Report scout near you.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Note: Division I volleyball programs, that are not fully funded, don’t have to abide by the head-count rule.

How to read College Football Las Vegas Odds

Similar to our Money Line and 1st Half Odds, every matchup is listed in order of Rotation and those numbers are preceded by the Date and Time of the College Football game.

The rotation for college football games typically lists them by scheduled starting time, which can lead to some confusion since the number will remain the same even if the games wind up changing due to television networks often shifting around action to present more attractive matchups. Home teams are listed at the bottom and will therefore be your even-numbered squad.

The numbers next to the teams are called Spreads or Point-Spreads.

Favorites are the teams laying points, which is represented by a minus (-) sign. The team in the Underdog role is getting points, which is represented by the plus (+) symbol that you wouldn’t see on the board but would be represented next team onto you betting ticket or slip. You can add the spread to your team’s final score and have that edge throughout the game.

If there is no favorite or underdog, the line is called pick’em and is represented by (PK). Winner takes it. The amount of points a team is favored by is set by oddsmakers on Sunday afternoons and that figure fluctuates throughout the week based on the amount of money coming in on bets.

Opposite from the spread you’ll find the Total, which represents what oddsmakers believe will be the combined number of points scored between the teams. That number also increases or decreases based on bets coming in on the Over or Under.

How to Bet College Football Las Vegas Odds

The key to wagering successfully in college football spread betting is to decide early how many points you’re willing to lay with Favorites and to get in at the lowest possible spot.

If you’re going to back the Underdog, make sure you’re getting the most points possible entering the game. The skill in this often requires you to forecast how a game will be wagered since we often see opening lines bet up over the course of the week due to the majority of the money coming in on the favorite.

Of course, getting in too early can often backfire if a better number appears over the course of the week or if injuries that are typically not announced until coaches give status reports on Monday press conferences dramatically alter expectations. There’s also a big rush on betting action just before the kickoff of any game, which means you may be best off waiting until kickoff approaches to get the right number.

Take the 2019 college football Big 12 matchup between Texas-West Virginia as a prime example. The Longhorns opened as an 11.5-point favorite and won 42-31 after the Mountaineers scored the game’s final touchdown with :48 left. West Virginia backers who got in early prevailed on that score, while Texas bettors who guessed wrong and got in too early caught a “bad beat.” Those who waited and laid only 10.5 points still cashed. Get in at the best number!

College Football Opening Line

Opening Lines in college football are typically set on Sunday afternoons in the current week and you usually see immediate action cause line movement. The Spread is based on a rough projection of a score for every matchup, although oddsmakers have a good idea of what side the betting public will want to bet and usually saddles that team with an additional point or three. The same goes for the Total, which projects the combined number of points expected in a contest.

These numbers are based on simulations that take a number of statistical factors into account in addition to baking in injuries, a homefield advantage that is typically worth three points and any other potential edges. Teams coming off bye weeks are usually given an edge thanks to increased preparation time and fresher bodies. Teams coming in on short rest or that have to travel out of their element typically find themselves penalized in a point spread.

UCLA at Cincinnati (-4)

College Volleyball Final Four

In the above example, UCLA was made a four-point underdog against Cincinnati in the 2019 season opener for both. The betting public jumped on the team from the higher-regarded conference, perhaps believing that the West-Coast team heading more than halfway across the country was being penalized too harshly and the line closed at 2.5 points. Cincinnati prevailed 24-14. The opening line of 4 was accurate in calling for a larger margin of victory than the closing line, which is where the ‘opener’ ultimately ends up.

When looking at the numbers over the course of the week, you’ll see constant line movement on our odds and matchup pages. All of the betting properties we track create their own lines and we display and track all of their movements in the VegasInsider.com Consensus Line.

For an example, in the most recent National Championship between LSU and Clemson, there was significant line fluctuation throughout the two-week lead up. LSU was laying 5.5 to 6 points in multiple locations as the favorite. The battle of Tigers ended with LSU blowing out Clemson 42-25, covering the spread handily.
