A lot of really sucessfull college football teams are using the spread offense these days. Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Utah and West Virginia have all done well in recent years using it.\n\nSo its natural that HS coaches would try to copy what is working at a college program. Also, if you are running this kind of offense in HS it would give your players a better chance at getting a college football scholarship. The college coach sees that the kid knows about the spread offense already so it would make him a better fit for that school then someone who knows nothing about it.\n\nAnyways, just my opinion, we ran the option in HS which I thought was fun but now there are only a couple college schools (like Navy) that run it anymore.

I think Division 1-A are the biggest schools in college football, while the rest are progressively smaller school and hence, smaller budgets for football,and a smaller fanbase from to draw support, and the quality isn't quite as good. The higher the number, the lower the quality of football and smaller the school, in general. 1-A is better than 1-AA in terms of quality of teams.\nD-1" schools are the major collegiate athletic powers, with larger budgets, more elaborate facilities, and higher numbers of athletic scholarships. This level was once called the "University" division of the NCAA in contrast to the "College" division; this terminology was replaced with the current numeric (I, II, III) divisions in 1973. In football only, Division I was further subdivided into Division I-A (the principal football schools) and Division I-AA in 1978. Subsequently the term "Division I-AAA" was added to delineate Division I schools which do not field a football program at all.\n      Unlike other sports, NCAA college football has a Division 1AA division also. A major realignment came in 1979, when the NCAA established a Division I-AA for schools that have strong over-all athletic programs but aren't among the major football powers. Unlike the Division 1A conferences, these conferences playdown for a championship.

Becuase most of the public state universities _have_ to take students from that state, provided that they make some sort of minimum requirement, usually some form of combined GPA and SAT.  Now GPA's from high schools can range from "informative" to "absolutely worthless" with regards to what they say about the student who got them.  Basically they have to admit a lot of students, who to put it bluntly, have no business being at an institude of higher learning in the first place.\n\nReally, the universities don't have "weed-out" the students, as the student's tend to "weed-out" themselves.

The vast majority are drafted out of college.  More and more teams are drafting high school players (especially pitchers), but some teams refuse to draft high school players because it's too risky.  Natural talent is obvious but maturity is still a big question.

Private schools competed for several years in the UIL, but by 1918, they were phased out. They are still excluded from the league because they have several advantages over public schools, one of which is that their students do not have to come from a certain "attendance zone," so recruiting is unlimited in private schools. \n\nHome-schooled students aren't allowed in the UIL for the same reasons. School superintendents overwhelmingly have voted down any action in the past of allowing home-schooled students to participate in the UIL because a league team conceivably could represent a school without any team member actually attending the school. Home-schooled students don't have to abide by the same academic standards set by "No Pass, No Play," and they don't have the same standard curriculum as public schools.

The problem is that we the public care so much about sports and in some cases put the fiat of your favorite team above much more important events in our lives or in the world. I coach at the high school level and I need to give my self reality checks very often. The reason colleges and the pros can do these things is because we the fans allow them to and force them to do whatever they can do to win. If they win they get money and to win you need a good coach and facilities which means you need to raise ticket prices to pay for all this stuff. Once you have it you better win or you will be fired so that person does everything they can to build a winner. This steam all the way down to youth leagues where parents are coaching a sport which should be about fun but are now all about winning. Sports need to stay in high schools and the coaches should be examples of education first athletics second. To often this is not the case. The fans also need to look at this and stop demanding perfection from their coach, their kids, and their teammates during games. We are the ones (the public) who have made it this way.

I think now Australian football has been given a large profile it should take off more and more . I know a lot of schools are doing more football. My friends boys in VIC are doing football at school and in the weekend and loving it. That is where it needs to be concetrate on now in Australia to build it up and get a good coaching system involved

HERE is your answer...........\nFirst of all, it is not just #10!!!\nThere are over 102 players on Cal's roster.\nFrom number 1-20, 17 of the numbers are worn by two players!!!\n29 numbers are worn by two players.  However, every shared number is worn by one on offense and one on defense.\nI go to the Cal games.  It is not a problem; just amusing.\nHere is Cal's numerical roster. \nhttp://calbears.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/cal-m-footbl-mtt-num.html

Yeah that sounds like it really sucks.  Maybe you should be nice to them and they won't be mean to you.  I mean what does the name of your high school, or you're the best running back have to do with people being mad at you.  Maybe its because you go around saying that you are the best running back and maybe you aren't that good.

Well most schools are in districts and are called "school districts". So at the end of the year they give out awards and name a team that would best represent their district. They usually have a first, second, and third team as well as an honorable mentions. To be second team all district would be to say if the district had an all star team, you or whoever, would be on the second team. Still a prestigious honor considering how many players play within you district.
