UCLA Alumni Study Links Football Fame to Higher Social Status
A UCLA survey of 815 alumni with three varsity letters from 1920 to 1967 shows college football players largely come from blue collar homes yet reach upper middle class after graduation. Findings note 34.6 percent from blue collar backgrounds and 51.6 percent from homes where fathers did not finish high school. 22 percent earn $30,000 or more today. Players from higher income families pursue other sports, but all reach similar high prestige careers later. The study suggests athletics aid education by enabling college attendance and retention, with extra grants, sponsorships, dates with affluent partners, sales job prestige, and pro-team offers cited. Ex-football stars later take up golf and tennis. their sons in college likely avoid football.
