<p>There are 84 public Division III colleges, or about 19-20% of the total of 442. I hope you’ll agree that the public D-III colleges are a proper subset of the D-III colleges, and that any blanket pronouncement regarding D-III colleges must certainly include the D-III public colleges, so I’m a little mystified that you seem to think that I was being misleading in some way by applying your generality to the public D-III colleges. </p>
<p>I also find it quite interesting that you characterize a fraction of 19-20% as “quite rare” when you have gone to such great pains to make certain that a 10% fraction of the public D-I schools are represented prominently in the discussion and absolutely cannot be treated as the exception rather than the rule. If 19-20% is “quite rare”, how would you characterize that 10% you were so concerned about? “Extremely rare”? “Practically nonexistent?” Help me out here.</p>

<p>So, in short, you are not really qualified to comment on the finances of public D-III colleges. On that, at least, we agree.</p>
