iramurphy Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 What does a mean when a college player "earns a letter"? Dah... I'm Canadian. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The player plays enough games or periods to be recognized with the schools "letter" (in UND's case an ND). It is worn on a letter sweater or jacket. It is awarded for playing in a predetermined number of periods or games such as as many periods as there are games that year although it varies between teams and the various sports. If you earned a letter you usually have played enough to contribute to your team that year. Most letter winners wore the schools letter jacket and it is still done in high schools but not as much at UND anymore. There are other colleges and Universities where it is still popular.
