Trophies and Transcripts

Conclusion
College football can have a positive and lasting impact on the academic strength and public perception of universities. As fans across the Sunshine State break out the tailgate grills and don the standout freshman’s jersey in hopes of a national title or major bowl win, they are not just rooting for the players on the field. Prospective students will be watching, and may just see something that they want to be a part of for many years to come.
