[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post is all over the place and hard to understand.  Are you talking Division II or III?  Why are coaches contacting her and telling her to come to their school unless they want her on their team?[/quote]

DIII. Tiny colleges. Expensive, underfunded. Not coaches, these are [b]admissions recruiters[/b] sent out to boost applications. They will tell kids WHATEVER they want to hear. [/quote]

Same pp.  That is different then.  Absolutely not, if she is a good student and they are not offering scholarships.  My DS is actually offered athletic scholarships to low division I colleges in his sport and he is saying no. These are Forbes ranked schools below 500 nationally that might still be good schools, but he would rather go to a better college and not play his sport than go to a "no real degree college." So, while I am all for kids having choices sometimes they have no clue what is a good choice and what is not, and parents need to step in. Why would you let her go to  some almost community college  equivalent, if she can get into much better school.[/quote]
