About 12 DIII schools have shown interest in my son playing baseball for them. He has communicated via email and phone with the coaches and sent videos. We visited a few of them and had one on one discussions with a few of the coaches. What happens now? DIII schools can not offer athletic money but can come up with academic money and grants. (fortunately, my son is a very good student)How do we as parents handle this? Also, we had a coach 'suggest' he come to the school but then stated that he would have to try out for the team. He told us that some DIII schools have 'slots' available for players(his did not). Is this true? We feel lost at the moment on how to proceed. Anyone have experience dealing with DIII programs?
