@HSDad22 posted:Thanks for the heads up, He'll probably stay local, but good to give him alternatives. It will be good to have a few more HA that are D2, there are so few. I could only think of one, Colorado School of Mines, as a strong academic D2, but that may be because I'm not as familiar with those outside the Northeast.
You are correct about very few D2s being recognized as HA institutions. As D2 baseball becomes more relevant (and I believe that it will very quickly) the D2s that are HA programs should get a lot of interest. Colorado School of Mines is a great example and so is UT Dallas. Other D2s can be leaders in a specific field but not exceptional across the board. The University of Central Oklahoma comes to mind in that regard. It has one of the leading Forensic Science programs in the country - especially computer forensics. They actually have a Forensic Science Research Institute on campus - one of only a handful of universities that can make that claim.
