Just wondering if any of you guys have taken or heard about Scouting Academy. It's an online intensive scouting academy ran by former players and scounts. I kind of want to take it and increase my football knowledge but $750 is a steep price.
What exactly are you trying to learn? How to scout player?
Wonder if my tuition reimbursement @ work would cover it...

Is this being offered by Trump University?
As with most things sports related, this seems like a huge money grab.
Just how many job openings in an NFL Scouting Dept come open every year?

Not many but combining computer skills and scouting knowledge might land you a college assistant job pr something along those lines. It's a start.

I'd call a program and see if taking that class would help you get a job, because I'm suspecting that just that alone won't.
My kid is an assistant coach for a college football team for what it's worth...

im not quite sure what i want to do with it if i decide to take.could just do it to learn more about the game i love. Then again, $750 is alot of money to drop for just that reason.

It is a lot of money just for that.
Oddly enough I was looking at this site earlier. Seems like a bit of a cod.

I'll let you guys know. I'm looking forward to it. Starts Monday. Usually requires 10-20 hours a week. Lot of film study.

Just saw on Twitter like a half dozen recent grads have landed jobs/internships with some college teams etc.
Sounds pretty cool.
