College athletes?

Is there a way to send fanmail to college athletes? My favorite football players are in college (well, actually, now two of them just moved onto the draft and skipped their senior year) and I was wondering if I could send fanmail to them, or wait until they go into the draft and then do it when they're signed with an NFL team?

It depends which college are you looking to get players autographs from? I'm a Michigan fan and I live about 3 hours away from Ann Arbor and I plan on traveling up there this year on Fan Appreciation Day just so I can in persons autographs that I might never be able to have a chance of getting again.

If you can try to see if they have a Fan Day. I'm sure they do since most schools do. I'm not sure how they handle their autograph policy but I know schools that do allow their athletes to sign they have to keep a log of what they signed, when they signed it, etc. Prevents it from looking like they signed stuff to be sold and then they get a cut of the money. Hope that helps you

Alot of athletes will sign if you send it c/o their schools athletic department. They can't accept funds and you're not supposed to sell them...but most will sign.

I didn't know that. thanks for all your help everyone :) I'm going to see if I can get De'Anthony Thomas' autograph, see if it turns out. If I do get it, I will definitely post about it!
