[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny, nobody realizes many of these commits are either zero money/walk on and also parent donations. McLean, FCV, Bethesda and even Loudoun all have players in these situations. Many will never see real minutes their entire time in college at the competitive P4 schools.

Sometimes it’s not about the Coach’s contacts and more about who the parents know.

Smart families will take better offers at smaller  academic schools, even DIII. Those kids will get minutes and an excellent undergrad degree.[/quote]

Lol! If my kid gets into Penn because she’s recruited for soccer you think I’d prefer to send her to a DIII school instead so she can get more playing time at a DIII? That’s funny. [/quote]

Why is that funny? If she’s recruited but doesn’t get money, hell yes!

That said, personally I would rather pay out the ass for Penn regardless, but I don’t think most parents are crazy like me.

Not crazy at all. I’d rather pay for Penn than free ride at No Name U.[/quote]

You sound ignorant. Keep in mind,  i didn't say stupid. I said ignorant.  You aren't educated on this like you think.

Johns Hopkins, Amherst, NYU, University of Chicago,  Wellesley, Tufts, MIT, Swarthmore and Carnegie Mellon are amongst these "no name" DIII schools you are $h!t talking.  Have you heard of them?

DIII schools are typically very good academic schools and many have good to excellent reputations. Typically,  not always, the DIII colleges have smaller enrollments.  Whilst athletics are taken seriously,  it isn't the end all be all for the athlete. Many are able to have more well rounded college experience.

All that said,  you keep thinking a degree from a DIII athletic school is doo doo.

And by "one of those people," I meant someone who is pompous and, or, doesn't know what he/she is talking about. [/quote]
