Reply to "D3 JV Teams"

I work at a JUCO and have spent tons of time with the coaches that have come through here getting advice for my 2 sons.  One said the D3 he came from put pressure on them to get a certain number of kids, so while the coaches hated the idea of a JV team they had to use it to convince some kids that they would get to play some while developing for the future.  Most have said that if baseball is the key factor in choosing a school, to be extremely careful in picking one that has a JV program as it was rare for anybody put on that team to ever play varsity.  Last spring I went to watch our team play a D3 JV team from about 30 minutes away.  I got there at game time and the other team was just pulling into the parking lot.  Apparently they could not leave until varsity practice was over.  The coach kept his hands in his pockets most of the game and never clapped or flashed a sign.  They phoned in the game and went home.   

Just my 2 cents...I'm sure there are legit JV programs.
