UCF- has an established wake club that won nationals


USF St.Pete would be great place to start one it's on the water. Not far from Mccormicks cable.

UT is on the bay. Crappy school but they have boats,boat house,etc but it's only for the marine students maybe they will make an exception if you started a club. 10 minutes from mccormicks.

Kidding. That was my shameless Virginia Tech plug for the month.

Madison, WI has a good ski/wakeboard team
a lot of midwest school's have teams, but they are SKI and Wakeboard.... not strictly wakeboard teams....

Is there any schools that offer a full ride scholarship for wakeboarding?

Better take up football, swimming, basketball, etc. if you want a scholarship. Wakeboarding is a club sport and you usually have to pay to play, but most universities will throw clubs a few dollars from the student activities fees to help with some costs.

Florida Gulf Coast University - school is right on private lake and has its own x2. You can ride pretty much whenever. 15 min from revolution cable

Scott Hopkins rode for UF before he graduated. Rumor has it that he couldn't even do a 720, but you could always find one and a KGB in every one of his runs. Weird.

Scratch UNF off that list, unless you want to provide your boat for everyone who wants to be in the club.
