[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many kids (and parents) are head over heels on getting that D1 ticket. But even if they get in a D1, they are only getting bench time, threatened to be cut, twice a week games and travel, and 3 months of game season in a year. Even if they survived that horrible situation and “played” 4 years, they have maybe 1% of chance turning pro.

Instead, if they put academic first and choose the best learning environment over the division number, they could have a balanced college experience and end up in a much better place with many more choices 4 years later.

I don’t get it if the parents can afford college but let the kid choose a never heard of D1 or D2 over a prestigious D3. [/quote]

So the kids at a D1 not playing soccer has less chances and opportunities for personal success in life than a kid not playing soccer at a D3?[/quote]

We are comparing lower academic D1 with good academic D3. I’d always choose the latter, but I felt like an outlier in this area. I don’t think scholarship is the reason here, as families can’t afford college won’t be able to afford years of club soccer of all brands. [/quote]
