There aren't that may scholarships available and when you do get one it is not a full ride. To get a full ride you have to be a 4 timer and a national contender too. Some people think that because the NCAA allows wrestling 9.9 scholarships that that is what the college has? There are only ten to twenty (I can't remember exactly how many?) Division I Colleges that have all 9 scholarships. There are only two Division II teams that have all 9. The average Division II School will have 2.5 available and Division I 4.5. So the Schools break them up into percentages and pass them out to the needy and to who they need?
Let's say for a full ride at Central Missouri State University is $18,000. That means to have 9 scholarships you need $162,000 to fill them up. Not many Schools have that much money. In football, Division II get 45 Scholarships and Division I it's 75. You need a lot of booster money to fill that up? There are many reasons for picking a certain School but a lot of it comes down to financial reasons?
