Not every D3 school is “high academic”
I don’t really know where this idea originated from, but I’ve seen it pop up more and more over the past year or so, so I thought I’d address it here. I know this is kind of hyper-specific, but it’s something I’m fairly passionate about and I haven’t seen all that much online correcting it.
Even though the NCAA builds the rules of D3 around allowing players to have more time in the classroom and for studying, that does not mean that every single school that plays at that level is automatically a school with a strong academic reputation. There are hundreds of D3 schools that are barely accredited universities that barely put money into anything, let alone athletics, and yet market themselves as “high academic” solely because their teams compete in D3.
Besides most of the NESCAC, along with select schools in the MIAC, NCAC, Centennial, and SCIAC, D3 schools are mostly average, to almost complete scams when it comes to their academic standing. There’s nothing wrong with going to a school that doesn’t have the strongest academics in the world, but allowing that school to market and promote itself to prospective recruits and students as a highly esteemed and respected institution solely because of their D3 affiliation is dangerous and arguably constitutes false advertising.
