[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope my DS eventually will play his sport at one of these small D3 or even D2 colleges.  DS has a learning disability and the extra attention he will get at a small school and the extra help they give the athletes is exactly what he needs.  I think he would struggle and be lost at a Big U, and he certainly doesn't have the grades/SATs for a Top 20 or probably even Top 50.    [/quote]

Thank you for this.  My son currently attends a MAC Commonwealth school that was linked to in a prior post (one of the 'crummy' schools).  Although he's a smart kid (1300+ SAT), he also has a learning disability.  Until it was diagnosed and addressed early in high school, we thought he might go to a JUCO, or maybe the military.  But he worked hard and decided he wanted to play his sport in college.  We found a perfect fit academically in one of the MAC schools.  The school was also a good fit athletically, but it certainly didn't drive the process.  He's thriving, and we couldn't be prouder of him.  I posted his commitment on social media.  I had no idea there were people who would be so offended by this.  I feel sorry for them.[/quote] 
Congratulations to your son, sounds like he has worked very hard. You must be very proud of him. [/quote]
