[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would MUCH rather my child play d3 over d1.  D3 your kid can put academics first and still competitively play the sport they love. There is a much better sport/academic/social life balance for d3.  I see no downside [/quote]

My DS plays baseball at a D3.  He is able to major in whatever he wants.  I've heard that STEM majors are really difficult for D1 baseball players because of practice time requirements and when labs tend to occur.  At my DS' school, if a class that is required for his major conflicts with practice, he is able to take the class.  I know he has one class this semester that has him late to practice one day a week.  He also had an exam a few weeks ago. He was not able to reschedule it, and there was no repercussion with the coach.

Someone else mentioned lack of school spirit at D3s.  I go to a most of my DS' home games.  There are always quite a few students in the stands watching the games, especially the weekend games when the weather is really nice.  [/quote]
