<p>mowc - sorry if I sounded that way - I didn't mean academics were lesser - I meant the sport was more. For example, many athletes told him they were unable to graduate in 4 years on his DI visits. It was just his general impression that the sport was the driving force. Of course every school has it's own culture. I'm just sharing his perspective of his personal experience. As a parent, my observation is that his choice of DIII with an academic scholarship rather than NAIA or DI or II with an athletic scholarship has made him comfortable with his decision. There are so many factors - this whole process has got to be individually driven.</p>
