learning, I noticed the same thing!! My son attends a top D2 and the competition there is fierce. His conference is one of the best in the country having had 5 teams in the top 25 most of this past season. Maybe it's what BOF was saying, but I have wondered why people have mentioned the options being D1 or D3 as well. I think D2 is a very viable option. There are MANY very good D2 programs out there that offer some of the best competition in the country.
