If you recall a few pages back, unless mod deleted it due to legal threats, it was ‘prophesied’ that VRSC and evergreen Sportsplex will be sold before the end of 2028. The question is, how much money is Jim willing to keep blowing on these buffoons masquerading as “coaches”? |

What if D3 is what we want? What an elitist prick you are. |

| D3 is an easy way to a full ride and good education. |

No athletic scholarships at D3 schools, perhaps you meant full ride academic? |

You have no idea what you are talking about. They give some money for academic scholarships, the remainder comes our of your pocket. The other portion can be supplemented based on need. For most families playing in travel sports in NOVA, you prob won't qualify. Threshold is pretty low, family income needs to be under 100k. So quick check, if you are playing at your club and are on scholarship you might be getting a full ride with good grades. |

No such thing as a full ride at a D3. Academic scholarships are capped. Many of the top D3s do not even offer Academic Scholarships. All depends on endowments. D2 does have athletic and academic scholarships however their are not many Academic schools. Maybe 10 that are on par with George Mason, UMBC, etc. Even with academic and athletic in D2, still won't be a full ride. The only full rides are your P4 schools and big football/basketball schools outside of P4. Many in P4 don't give full rides either. Anson Dorrance at UNC has always been quoted for saying he never gave any player a full scholarship during his entire tenure. New rules have changed things but DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE who says their DD has gotten a full ride at a mid-major or less D1. Have heard it many times but ends up being a lie to stroke the parents ego. FYI, some public schools use a loop hole to save money and give better offers but it is controversial and looked down upon by others. While a player might be out of state, the University will give in state tuition rather than athletic scholarship. This amounts to a 50% or more cut in tuition. They can then add on Academic and Athletic scholarships to get very close to a full ride. I think private schools cannot use this practice which is why it is controversial and stacks the deck for state schools. I'm not 100% positive on privates though. |

So if your DD is one of the top GA players in the Division and has excellent grades to match (Out of State Scenario): 1. UMBC, Robert Morris, Elon or Similar; partial Scholarship probably 50% or less between Academic and Athletic 2. Rollins, Adelphi, or Hillsdale; partial Scholarship probably 75% or less between Academic and Athletic 3. WashU, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins; partial Academic Scholarship IF AVAILABLE likely around 33% or less Which one do you want your Daughter to go for? Me? If DD was in this situation, I would probably try Richmond or VCU to stay in state. D1 without a doubt has it's advantages when it comes to student athletes. If your DD is not a top player in the division, you are looking at only D2 and D3 schools, no Athletic Scholarships. Also, top Soccer D2s and D3s actually have talented rosters between recruiting and players transferring in that are not getting PT in D1. D3 schools like the ones mentioned above often get good transfers for players moving into their senior year so they can get the prestigious name on their diploma. IMO, D2 and D3 is similar to GA. You have a few really good teams but their is a steep drop off after the top 25. Most GA players can find a home playing soccer in college outside of the top 25 in D2 or D3. The myth really begins when people think any USYS player can play D2 or D3 soccer. I think it is the same comparison with GA taken down a notch where most TOP USYS players can find homes at 2nd and 3rd tier D3 if they want. On the bubble starters and bench players in USYS are likely bound for Club Soccer in college if they continue playing. |

I went to a prominent D3 school. Many of the athletes got 50% or more in tuition because they were an athlete. Yes, they say it’s academic but plenty of those academic scholarships were to student athletes who 1.) didn’t perform better in HS than I, 2.) did not perform better in college than i. 3.). Had parents above the Faisal level of income 4) some got full rides. It’s the reason why some schools consistently perform well in ncaa national competitions while others don’t. Then there is something called an endowment which some schools use to pay tuition to athletes. Many of these same students were receiving 100% full rides. The professors also knew who these students were and often inflated grades to keep these students above the requirements to maintain their status. You my friend are the one who has no idea what you are talking about. |
