St Francis has 82 players on its current roster and announced a signing class of 27 new players. Common sense says many of those kids will not see the field.

20 kids graduate, transfer, flunk-out, quit, and get hurt every year. Yes, many recruits never finish where they start, but you can't stop bringing them in.

Since SFU is a private school (and Division I), which has a pretty hefty cost for tuition, room and board, do they give their athletes (as many as 85) full athletic scholarships, like Alabama or Michigan does?

At least one of them, Elijah Villarial, will be going there tuition free, as his Dad is head coach. Not that there's anything wrong with that, as all SFU Admin. & teachers' family members go there free.

I know quite a few kids that went to SFU and The Mount. Both athletes and non athletes. I don't know any that paid full tuition. Pretty much everyone accepts some type of scholarship. My daughter (14 yes ago) was offered a 10,000 "leadership" scholarship. And 5,000 for something else. She was given the same thing at The Mount, which is where she decided to go.

I just think many are under the impression that since St. Francis is considered a D-I football school, that the players are going for free to a $50,000/ year school. Most have a hefty co-pay each year. It ain't free like Notre Dame, Pitt or PSU.

FCS schools can give out 63 scholarships. These can be split. No idea if SFU gives out all 63, but as a private school, they can offer lots of other scholarships (academic), grants, etc...but who really cares who is paying the bills. It's not us, unless your kid goes there.

I know for a fact one of those signing with SFU is on scholarship. But what do I know.

D1 FBS is 85 full scholarship
D1 FCS is 63 split scholarships
D2 is 36 split.

A lot of the 63 are probably full scholarship, but the ones that aren't, between academic scholarships, grants, and partial football scholarships - they aren't paying a whole lot for school.
