The NCAA is a nonprofit association committed to providing opportunity for more than 460,000 college student-athletes who compete annually in college sports.

Student athletes may be suffering from less than stellar graduation rates, but in order to qualify for play as a graduating high school senior, you have to follow careful requirements, as the NCAA has specific and even strict academic requirements for new college players.

Statistically, more college baseball players will go pro than athletes in any other sport.
