[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Main advantage is a high academic kid can get into a D3 program or D1 Ivy (no scholarship) they would have never gotten into otherwise and then choose not to play if they don't want to play. Otherwise, D1 is a full-time job. It's not a normal college experience. But I'm sure it's unique and brings a lot of value in what it is. You'd have to love the sport or have no way to pay for college to do it. I was D1 Ivy and quit halfway through first season. Not for me. [/quote] Most D1 athletes have nothing near a full ride, so for most it’s a tuition discount with some nice perks (special dining hall; nice gear; register first for classes; free tutoring if needed; team-assigned academic advisor; connections with other athletes at the school; easy entry to sports events; good medical team support). Think of it as your fitness program, your sorority and your part/time job all rolled into the same team.[/quote]
