[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok I just can't figure out how to ask any in real life parents this without if sounding offensive like I'm trying to say something about their kid:  Do any kids play D2 lax in college?  Boys/men I mean.  I hear the parents talking about deciding between D1 and D3, and I see only D1 and D3 on this list, but I know there are D2 teams out there.  [/quote]

D2 schools tend to be very small and less heralded colleges -- think places like Limestone.  D3 teams tend to be stronger because there are a lot of good academic schools in D3 -- think Amherst, Bowdoin, etc.    [/quote]

Another poster here with what may sound like a stupid question - but is D1 really more desirable than D3 for lacrosse?  The boys I know who have gone off to D1 schools count there careers in a handful of minutes played, usually in blowout games, and the scholarship money covers a teeny tiny fraction of actual costs.  The D3 commits I've known from this area end up at great SLACs, get a fair amount of playing time even as underclassmen, and can do things like a junior semester abroad.  So for lacrosse, where the end game isn't the pros, why D1?[/quote]
