[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the parent that asked if a child top 100 needs grades to match the school. The short answer is yes. They will not survive academically at the school and the school knows it. The soccer team also prides itself on the groups gpa as a whole. You might have a chance with D-3 program that will help them get back on track. [/quote]

You seem to infer that "D-3" means easier academically. Generally that isn't the case. While players obviously have to survive academically at their school (its not football or basketball), schools with top 100 soccer programs are not necessarily top 100 schools academically. In fact, if you were looking for a top 10 school academically, they will generally be Ivies and/or private DIII's.  Among the top 100 ranked D-I soccer programs, there is a decent range of academic quality. 
D-III schools do offer a bit more balance in terms of time commitments, however the best of these programs are every bit as intense during the fall season as D-I.[/quote]
