[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]

The high academic d3 are around 90k for one year (New England Schools). They are extremely expensive for an undergraduate degree, and if you're not super smart, then the chance of you getting financial assistance as well as getting in is slim.  Also, there are D1s that are not cutthroat.  Look at the non-P4 conferences, and you'll find a good balance of academics, soccer, and financial assistance. [/quote]
