Originally posted by Unregistered View Postit's true. They use an NCAA loop hole and get European Graduate students that by our rules usually have at least 2 years NCAA eligibility. So their coach fields a team of 23-24 year olds to play18-21 years olds. There is a big physical difference between an 18 year old and a 23 year old.

Do NCAA eligibility rules apply to overseas players . Seems most of these kids would have signed youth contracts and received reimbursement from professional clubs .

I would almost bet the best NAIA Men's team could beat the best NCAA D1 team. There is no age limit, players can get full scholarships in NAIA, and they come from all over the world. Players come to continue to study and get a free education in a U.S school.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI'd take a D2 Rollins education over a D1 USF or UNF any day of the week, and I think most people would agree. I think people get too hung up on D1/D2/D3 and lose sight of the bigger picture.
I had a discussion with a coach once and he was of the opinion that there's a big overlap in quality among the top D2 and bottom D1's, with probably D1 being a bit better funded and more 'intense" than the typical D2

It must be extremely difficult to compete at the Division 1 level and be a medical student . Not enough hours in the day .

There are crap teams in every division check out all the pro players that have came through NAIA schools and D2. I have seen good travel teams beat D2 teams. Granted there are some terrible teams and I have also seen D1 teams beat pro teams. if you put the best NAIA teams in the NCAA D1 tournament they would make a splash. No doubt.

You don't need to worry your son will be done playing by 18. Your dream will be over like 99% of the know all parents. enjoy your last few seasons. Then you can share how an injury wrecked your sons dream of a scholarship, or some other excuse why he did not make it. Then you would of wished your son scrapped on a crap NAIA school.
