No...they are recruited to play football just like every other school. Even have different admissions standards than the other "students".

Mine went through the recruiting process for Navy. Everything was "go" until they found out he was color blind. His only route was to become a lawyer. He wanted to be a SEAL or Aviator. Needless to say he didn't go. We had to go through whole process with the Congressman to get an appointment but it does not count against the Congressman's "total allotment" or whatever.

When I went through the process to go to the Air Force Academy to play football I had to take the SAT seven times! I was not too smart. . They offered Prep School. I said screw that, I took a Marine Corps scholarship to A&M. Payed a whopping $84 a semester. Again, did I say I was not too smart???

Panfan's been through it more recently.


Rice's admission standards are also different than for regular students. NCAA minimum score on SAT(?) is 17. Rice's is 19. A regular student? Something like 30 plus.



Army team is very good. They will take this one.
