What are the odds of getting a scholarship to a California college?
Just looking at the odds, they are not very good. In California, there are about 100,000 athletes playing high school football every year. If we assume that 20% of these athletes are seniors, then there are 20,000 athletes competing for 210 scholarships (if the California schools only recruited in CA). The ratio is 20,000:210 – which roughly equates to odds of 1 in 100.
