Intermural beats D3? lol. A top D3 in most sports is full of kids that could have played mid/low D1 but preferred to balance sports with an education.[/quote]

Not intramural, but an SEC or ACC club team in say baseball could legitimately maybe win the D3 national championships.  Not to say they would…but would be in the conversation.  I would imagine Lynchburg and Salisbury (winners or D3 finalists the last several years) probably get their fair share of near D1 talent.

The UNC club baseball team also has kids that could have played D1 at other schools but either didn’t want a less academic D1 or didn’t want to have a 60 hour per week job of playing baseball and the crazy travel schedule.

The UNC club team would likely beat nearly every academic D3 in the NESCAC considering I know plenty of low 80s kids recruited to those schools because yes you need the grades and scores for those schools.  Emory or JHU likely a different matter.[/quote]

Agree with this, my kid plays on a club team that absolutely destroyed D3 teams when they played them. The team does win club national championships. The club team practices and plays as much or more than most D3 teams (all year play) [/quote]

When and where do those match ups happen? Where do you live where there are so many D3 schools available for this?

There are athletes who pick D3 schools as they do not want to practice and play all year round.

I know it's hard for some of you to imagine that not everyone has the same goals as you do or that you do for your children.

This is not the experience of D3 athletes I know in multiple sports.  They do in fact train/practice all year round, though perhaps not in the same number of hours as a D1 player.[/quote]

D3 soccer players don't play year round - they have a fall season, they have few friendlies in the Spring. The coach can't practice or train them after the completion of the fall season until late feb/early March. They can train by themselves, captain practices but the game and training schedule is significantly less than D1. Here is an overview of D3 https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/committees/d3/saac/D3SAAC_TimeDemandsResources.pdf. [/quote]
