All depends on what your kid wants.


Just not accurate . Not trying to knock any program or devision. But there is no comparison between programs like Maryland, Notre Dame, Duke, Virginia, Penn State, Syracuse, Ohio State, Michigan, Rutgers, Hopkins, Army, Navy. There are no DII or DIII programs that treat their teams like those schools do.


Agreed. If you think playing at Salisbury, Tufts, RIT, etc comes with the same perks as playing at a top D1 school you are fooling yourself.


What type of perks do they have in D1 compared to D2 and D3? Doesn't that depend on school not program? I can only speak for what I've heard in D2. Fully funded programs get all equipment paid for and travel costs. Some Schools have separate facilities for athletes (this includes gym, tutors, and food areas). Don't all divisions have rules around practice/games that must be followed at ncaa level?
