<p>Why not just apply to all the ACC and Big East football schools. This should give you everything you are looking for and will provide a range of costs. The ACC is slightly tougher to get into and more expensive, but you should be able to get some scholarships out of some of the lower ranked schools.</p>
<p>Also, I would just mention that you really shouldn’t pick a school based on its athletics program, unless you are an athlete. Just an opinion from the peanut gallery.</p>
