Its not as if kids are turning down full rides at D1’s. If you are skilled enough in the classroom, many D3’s will cost less, via academic scholarships, than the D1 experience anyways.
I’ve seen kids chose NESCAC’s (D3) over middle of the road academic D1’s as they understood they weren’t pro prospects. They were better prospects to become HA grad school students after playing NESCAC ball.
