[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely for D3. Huge scam. They love reasonably decent athletes whose parents are full pay, whether it's a name brand school or not. The kids love being "recruited."[/quote]

It’s not a scam at all.  There are many affordable small state colleges that have D3 programs.  The top 1% of athletes recruited in D1 colleges have a lot of test scores and grades overlooked.   The talented athletes who will probably not play professionally will go to D3 colleges.  And let’s be honest, athletes don’t always have great academic records, especially the big sports hockey, football, basketball.

The D3 players will choose a school based on their grades, go for four years, sometimes five years, and leave with a degree.  Some posters here say their kids who aren’t good enough for any division will continue club sports because they love it.  What’s the difference.  [/quote]

Or club at an Ivy. The club teams for some sports are incredibly hard to make- filled with kids that had D3 offers and a lot of Internationals. I know many that turned down D3.[/quote]
