cabbagedad posted:2020Hopeful posted:Thanks to you both! With baseball being significantly stronger in the Pacwest D2 schools over the GSAC NAIA schools, how do the academics compare? Are there NAIA schools with significantly better academics/reputation that would compensate for the drop in baseball?
If academics are high on the priority and you are obviously targeting California, why are you not looking at the D3 options? The SCIAC has probably some of the better academic schools when comparing with these other specific conferences and the baseball is better top-to-bottom than the GSAC IMO.
We have looked at D3 and he has some options, but they offer little to no academic money and we do not qualify for any need-based (already submitted FAFSA). Scholarship offers at D2 and NAIA schools range from about 50%-full tuition, which is a big incentive.
