D3 Tips are sales tokens. Like I said, I was recruited by my Audi dealer earlier today. Said I was his top prospect and he is going to make sure I am given one of his two tips for the vehicles coming in next week.

You are the buyer, soccer experience is part of the product
If a Scholarship is offered, they are the buyer, your athlete is the product.
The role of tips in NESCAC soccer is well documented. Both the big and little tips (sometimes called "protects") are sought after and are meaningful.
In our recent experience the process is more like a courtship on both sides rather than the buyer/seller analogy used. The schools only have a few tips and want to make sure of their proper use. They will want you to use the early decision option if you want the tip. So, it makes it difficult for kids who need financial aid.

Reminds me of club soccer tryouts. The first offers go to the players coaches really want. The last offers are players who play the least. Might now always be the case but this is generally true. College soccer is similar. Coaches offer the most $ to players they perceive as impact players (full-tuition to full COA). Then they offer partials to contributors. The ones who receive the last spots (and little to no $) are players who who cost little to none to the coach and were likely attending the school anyway. Coaches will give playing time to whomever can help their team win but they are definitely more vested in their high dollar players because they want a return on their investment. Better to play for a program that really wants you unless your player is ok being on the practice squad or is ok with not seeing the pitch.
