Do the math

Who are these players that make up this 6%? There are the ones that are proactively engaged in their college search process. They are the ones that have created a plan. They know what their college options are and what their college options mean for their future.
Don’t just become a college student athlete. Become a college student athlete that understands what their financial future looks like.
