How much $• The only thing that matters is:

TOTAL COST OF ATTENDANCE = (Tutition + Fees + Room & Board + Books + Supplies + Personal Expenses + Transportation) – (Athletic Scholarships + Academic Scholarships + Private Scholarships)

The remaining money is what you, your parents/guardians, or loans have to cover each year.

DON’T WORRY ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GET FOR FOOTBALL! CONCENTRATE ON THE TOTAL COST OF ATTENDANCE!
