There was a guy who had played with the DC Xplosion, he went from there to college and then was drafted to the NFL this past spring, so if you are good enough, and dedicated to it, I'd say yes, it's possible. |

The Saints have 3 former players playing in college right now. We have 1 playing arena 2, and other playing on indoor teams. So yes you can get into college from the ecfa. |

We have had players go to Arena the first year and some the second year and some players went to a NFL try out in Fla.and a CFL try out in Md last year they did not make it but was good for them to go to get looked at. and some players did go back to college and got game tape. If you are looking to go on you will need game tape..We will try to get are guys looked at by someone. The players that went to Arena are back for now and my still leave latter.The gridiron football is starting up in March. last try out in tex. look them up. on web

Just need to watch your age. If you are 21 years old or older, for every season you play semi-pro you lose a year of eligibility in college. |

Div 1 2 or 3 has nothing to do with it. Its the conference. All have difrent rules, and if your playing for free it does not take any eligibility away. Now if any player in your league is being paid then yes it will hurt you for any div 1 conference. Playing here is no diffrent than playing flag football in the eyes of colleges. I have sent game film for guys to all 3 levels and they received interest. |

Um yes it is a rule. Doesnt matter if you are paid or not. I actually played against this guy when he played on the PG Jets (MDFL) and he also played for the MD Marauders (NAFL). For D1 that is. DII and DIII are different http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4409434 Edited by PennState, Dec 1 2009, 04:56 PM.

Yes but there are several loop holes in the rules for instance if John Doe plays for the bulls for 3 years when he is 22,23,24 and goes back to college and walks on. Unless John Doe was in news papers is listed in mlf news or is rateed out by someone how is that college going to know who John doe is.. If i own the bulls John Doe was some other guy that moved away this guy never played for me. So you see its all how u handle the situation. Penn State though your facts are correct and the rules do state that for d-1 I can assure you nobody is heavily looking into what these guys have done unless they are the nxt phenom, the only trail would be pay checks which we do not have. Trust me no names have been ever given by me of any players going d-1. Just that they did go.....Its like the chinese restaurants that put a 10 dollar minimum on purchases made with credit cards...that violates the Visa/Mastercard rules but last time i checked there were no Visa /Mastercard police running around fining them!!!!! Now use your great internet knowledge and find us all some good low priced Blem balls..... Seriously great information though Penn State |

And in MY opinion the best place to buy Jerseys. My Monarch jersey has lasted over 40 games including practice and still looks new. http://www.gamewearteamsports.com/ |
