[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DIII has scholarships, they just call them “merit”.  As soon as your kid has an offer, coaches from other schools will try to beat whatever money they are getting.

Not a scam.  Don’t do it if you don’t want to.  [/quote]

Cannot be more than an equivalent student would receive if they weren’t an athlete.[/quote]

In our experience, it was very significant. I was surprised. [/quote]

It wasn’t, schools get audited and bad things happen. Just ask Union college.[/quote]

What happened at Union?  Interestingly DS was being pursued rather heavily by Union but went elsewhere.[/quote]

Union was one of the founding members of the NESCAC. Years ago their hockey coach was caught up in a recruiting scandal and before everything was done the school president had to resign. Union left the NESCAC before they were expelled and after a few years reinstated their hockey program as a D1 program. Its a very good D1 program but Union really is more of a NESCAC school and it is unfortunate that it happened.[/quote]
