Why I like Division III Schools for High School Athletes

The goal for student athletes on the high school level is to go to the next level. Their idea of the next level is of course to play for NCAA Division I team. They know that most profession recruits start looking at DI first and maybe last. But the goal of a student athlete is not to go pro but to obtain an education. It has been my observation that DI athletes go pro before actually finishing school. It appears that DI student-athletes are more like athlete-student. As oppose to DIII where the pressure of going Pro is lessen for the goal is to obtain a degree whether being a professional athlete. Specifically, it is known that Division I and Division III colleges and universities function differently with respect to expectations of athletes for athletic performance and the focus required on education
