Agreed and I think they’re out there - Bama, Ms State, UAH, W Carolina…maybe Southern Miss…maybe FSU (if they get an OOS waiver. WVU and Marshall in state.
Not sure there are more.
A K State or Iowa State might be worth a look - not sure if they get that low. If there’s reciprocity with Ohio, one can look at Ohio U or Miami - not sure if they get this low.
On the other thread, I think OP showed a test score - and those above take the combo of test and gpa - and provide enough auto merit to be there.
So you choose a few - OP wants D1 football - so you take a Bama, Miss. State and either WVU (big time) or Marshall (still D1) - and partner those with the MITs of the world if the NPCs come to low 20s or below - and you have all bases covered.
Not sure there’s others to be found - that’s why these schools are so popular with academically high level students.
