Educational and Financial Opportunities

With all the opportunities provided to college athletes through the new NIL policies, students have yet another thing to worry about. Before, it was tough enough to juggle a full-time college curriculum with the demands of a college-level sport which is increasingly becoming comparable to the requirements placed upon professional athletes. As college students, however, education should always remain priority number one. After all, no college athlete will be allowed to continue playing if their grades split. 

Fortunately, several organizations have already been helping athletes to help them balance their academics with their athletics. I’ve listed these educational opportunities to help students find these resources and tools:
