It’s amazing that only 9.9 scholarships are offered for D2 women’s soccer. On rosters anywhere from 25 to 35 that seems incredibly low. Means most only get 1/2 if the are lucky. Some get none. Value academics people.

What's your point? D2 athletics are money losers across the board. Not even football or basketball get the big TV revenues that many D1 programs get. Why should there be the same number of scholarships as D1? D2 schools also aren't nearly as well endowed as big D1s and top D3s either. Several have been forced to cut athletic teams.
Academics are a separate factor. D2 schools generally, not always, aren't as strong academically. However they may be a great fit for a student athlete, both academically and soccer wise. Of course in the end academics matter but not all students will be qualified for or want to attend higher ranked institutions. Families make decisions based on all kinds of factors, even including graduating with as much debt as possible. Worry about what your family is doing and no need to crap on the decisions of others.

9.9 is typically the max, so not sure what you mean. Or maybe you simply don't know what youre talking about.

On the girls side most are using soccer to find the best academic fit, and $$ are the last thing that comes into play. For a big group they have D1 offers but no academic fit and they end up in Nescap or UAA. Some of the schools in those conference give athletes a slight boost.

Good resource on the stats, one of many, but don't pay attention to the $ award as that is across all athletes, not just soccer. https://scholarshipstats.com/soccer
