You want to join a team that will give your athletic talent the most visibility, and if possible, the chance at a pro career. If you are considering football or basketball at an NCAA school, then you are among the best athletes in the world. You have worked hard to get to this point. Athletic success only lasts a few years. You deserve the best possible chance to gain the rewards that your athletic talent and hard work have earned for you.

You want to join a sports program that gives you the best opportunity to earn a college degree. The beauty of a college degree is that its benefits last a lifetime. When you eventually lose a step and your athletic career slows, your college degree opens the door to a professional career off of the field.

You can have both a great athletic career and a high quality college degree. By comparing schools using the Student Athlete Performance Rating (SAPR), you can find college sports programs that provide their athletes wide national exposure AND consistent progress toward a college degree.
