D1 vs DII

4 out of 5.

 

That's my point. Yes there is more talent on the D1 level but overall a lot of teams have a good number of guys from D2 and D3 and or JUCO because there are good ballplayers and my whole point throughout this thread is to give lower division players the respect they deserve. Yes D1 guys get all the credit and love but i'm here for lower divisions and JUCO because i'm not going to let anyone on this board take anything away from them.


I do believe that arguing about the ACC is also a bad subject because we could throw a lot of D1 teams from around the nation in this arguement and people would say the same about them, as they would a bunch of D2 teams, which is understandable. I believe with a lot of upper D2 teams, IMO they could contend or for that matter win a lot of lower D1 conference because the talent is relatively the same when you start getting into the SoCon or Big South or some conference like that.

 

They been good for along time.. about 5 or 6 national titles

and a ton of draftees...

 

It comes do to the money

D-1 programs for the most part have more resources ($$$$ and other items) than D-2 programs. Therefore they are able to recrute better plays. Yes there are some players to
What's the difference between Divisions I, II and III?

Division I

Division I member institutions have to sponsor at least seven sports for men and seven for women (or six for men and eight for women) with two team sports for each gender. Each playing season has to be represented by each gender as well. There are contest and participant minimums for each sport, as well as scheduling criteria. For sports other than football and basketball, Division I schools must play 100 percent of the minimum number of contests against Division I opponents -- anything over the minimum number of games has to be 50 percent Division I. Men's and women's basketball teams have to play all but two games against Division I teams; for men, they must play one-third of all their contests in the home arena. Schools that have football are classified as Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) or NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA). Football Bowl Subdivision schools are usually fairly elaborate programs. Football Bowl Subdivision teams have to meet minimum attendance requirements (average 15,000 people in actual or paid attendance per home game), which must be met once in a rolling two-year period. NCAA Football Championship Subdivision teams do not need to meet minimum attendance requirements. Division I schools must meet minimum financial aid awards for their athletics program, and there are maximum financial aid awards for each sport that a Division I school cannot exceed.
Division II

Division II institutions have to sponsor at least five sports for men and five for women, (or four for men and six for women), with two team sports for each gender, and each playing season represented by each gender. There are contest and participant minimums for each sport, as well as scheduling criteria -- football and men's and women's basketball teams must play at least 50 percent of their games against Division II or Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) or Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) opponents. For sports other than football and basketball there are no scheduling requirements. There are not attendance requirements for football, or arena game requirements for basketball. There are maximum financial aid awards for each sport that a Division II school must not exceed. Division II teams usually feature a number of local or in-state student-athletes. Many Division II student-athletes pay for school through a combination of scholarship money, grants, student loans and employment earnings. Division II athletics programs are financed in the institution's budget like other academic departments on campus. Traditional rivalries with regional institutions dominate schedules of many Division II athletics programs.
Division III

Division III institutions have to sponsor at least five sports for men and five for women, with two team sports for each gender, and each playing season represented by each gender. There are minimum contest and participant minimums for each sport. Division III athletics features student-athletes who receive no financial aid related to their athletic ability and athletic departments are staffed and funded like any other department in the university. Division III athletics departments place special importance on the impact of athletics on the participants rather than on the spectators. The student-athlete's experience is of paramount concern. Division III athletics encourages participation by maximizing the number and variety of athletics opportunities available to students, placing primary emphasis on regional in-season and conference competition.

This explains it all. And do not forget some of the players that transfer in. Some sites list some do not. But, you can beat there is a player or two that has come up via CC or JUCO.

 

PD- what in the world is this? and how does it relate to the discussion?

That's one of the silliest arguments I have read. All schools have athletic trainers, strength and conditioning, bullpen catchers.

But to think having a student manager, head student manager and someone that washes the uni's are the differences in the program at Mt Olive and UNC is such a stretch....that.... well....even for you, it's from left field.

 

I was thinking the samething but I won't going to say anything. I guess it shows that D1 allows more money to fund things such as "Head Jock Strap Replacer."

 

Without a doubt ...

 

Wow.....let me get my heart medicine. It's a NCBBallfan sighting

 

"and dallas tarrleton is proably the best catcher in d1"

That is probably one thing olefty and LCLefty will agree on since LCLefty has thrown plenty of times to Dallas Tarleton. BTW, Dallas is a kid who went to DII originally before transferring to D1.

 

You headed to Hopewell tomorrow????

If so, I'll see you there.
