LOL, ignore this post. There is zero athletic scholarship with D3, only needs based and academic. Walk-on maybe, but a lot of D3s are still very competitive so I wouldn't assume you can just show up.

In a world where most colleges set a high sticker price and use aid to adjust the net price, depending on how much they want the applicant, are D3 athletes effectively getting money now? How is this policed if D3 colleges give an athlete some sort of holistic merit-based aid but don't label it "athletic scholarship"?
