[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no such thing as an athletic full ride at D3 schools. Meaning, even if you are a D1 level athlete and want to attend, say,  Randolph Macon College in Ashland, they simply can not come up with any scheme to get you 4 years for free.

NP. They can certainly give you extremely significant merit aid. My kid was awarded enough in merit aid that the private D3 was cheaper than instate. [/quote]

That's simply false. You're not going to convince me because we tried every way possible for my kid to do this and the only 'free' offers at the end of the day were D1.[/quote]

Your kid was either not good enough or not smart enough. [/quote]

Wut? A kid who plays D1 isn't good enough to play D3? You ate a lot of crayons as a child, didn't you?[/quote]

Yes. You obviously know nothing about the current college sports landscape. Transfer portal has changed everything. Your D1 kid wasn’t good enough to get good D3 money. Sorry to break it to you.

Also, the crayons attempted insult is extremely uncreative and dull. At least try to show some intelligence. [/quote]

There is no D3 money. My father was a D1 coach for 22 years and my FIL was Chief of Admissions at a highly selective university. But keep telling yourself your [b]loser kid [/b]is great.[/quote]

that's a bit harsh don't you think?[/quote]
