[quote=Anonymous]Pick up the book Excellent Sheep by William Deresiewicz. It makes a very good case for the excellent education at the very colleges you are dismissing. Now if you can't afford it, I get that. But there is a lot to be said for being a big fish in a small pond. Division III sports are a great way for kids who have a passion to play to continue to play while focusing on their education. Also, I recently heard from a friend that both her kids got over $20K in merit aid at a mid-western liberal arts schools (with help from coaches who wanted them as athletes). Your mention of "walking on" suggests she's still looking at D1 schools. I'd guider her toward DIII.[/quote]
