    But then soccer really does have anything to do with it then does it? FA is FA. It’s need based and available pretty much everywhere. The level in the NCAA really has nothing to do with how much of a family’s need gets funded. Your logic is really just an extension of what is driving the fake NLI signings by D3 athletes. Soccer just is not part of the equation so why do some in the D3 crowd insist on trying to force a connection?
    Sorry, please read more closely. The example was that soccer made the difference in the admission to the school.

      It just doesn't happen that way. Quit trying to make your round hole situation seem like everyone's square peg. The way tips actually work is the kid has to have the academic chops to get into the school without soccer. Soccer just tips the scale. Also they hare hardly plentiful. There are actually less of them out there than D1 soccer scholarships. If you are talking about getting into one of the elite D3's, those sorts of grades would get them into a lot of fine D1 academic institutions and the argument could be made that making soccer such a focal point in the decision actually limited their academic choices.

        Have to weigh in on this discussion. My kid played with a couple of kids who went to Williams. Smart kids for sure but hardly the soccer world beaters that this parent wants to project. They generally had injury issues combined with a suspect work ethic so by the time they got to their Jr year they had fallen way behind what their trajectory looked like when they were 12-13 years old. My observation is this is usually the case when kids end up at the D3 level and the reality is their brains bails them out rather than soccer.

          What an idiot. Clearly you do not know how the "tips" work in NESCAC. Below is a link to a good article about tips and protects at Williams:

          http://ephblog.com/category/admissions/tips/

          It looks like there are about 3 tips and 1 protect annually for Williams soccer. The tops would not get in without the tip. The protect might.

            Does not sound to me like those are the kids getting a tip at Williams.

                        Yes!! This poster must be regretting some D1 soccer spot gone bad. Way too agressive with the D3 digs. What happened?

                          You over estimate the soccer ability. Yes from what I was told the two kids got help from the coach. Both were smart kids and good for the level with impressive accolades but they just aren’t good enough to play at a higher level. Part of the issue is a lack of high end speed but another issue is they didn’t work hard enough to perfect their technique and speed of play. They are good for where they’re at, certainly not the world beaters you are implying they are.

                            These are predictions, for fun, and not actual scores, do you understand? Why are you on here if no one cares?

                              So glad they are ignoring your nonsense and going to play at such an amazing school. That is my kind of pathway!
