D-1 professional camera crew

D-III athletes are true student athletes.

Everyone knows D1 athletes get hooked up when it comes to academics. That's part of why they have higher graduation rates.

One difference is D2and D3 can beat illinois football on any given day

I played D3 Linebacker and a good bud played D1 at the same time at the same position. Football IQ, Knowledge, Etc could be same but Skill, Speed, and Size are the biggest difference. I saw a lot of guys go from D3/D2 to being great coaches at the D1 level. One of our Running backs coaches is a highly sought after Offensive Coordinator now

My daughter attended a D2 school where she ran track and field most of her competition was D1 schools because there were fewer D2 schools in the area. So her competition was mostly D1 she was also two time American first team. In high school she was ranked 75th in the country for high school hurdlers 300 m and 100 m and could’ve attended numerous D1 schools but went for the education working now as a doctor.

D1: generally the most athletic; the most potential for professional ball; pretty much every famous athlete youve heard of came from a D1 school; skill gap is very wide comparing the elite to lower level D1; a lottttttt of overrated high school players that get cut or never see playing time

In terms of D1 in football it truly gets confusing, because within D1 you have FCS and FBS; within FBS you have the distinction between the Power 5 and Group of 5 conferences

I’ve played at the D-1 level and D-3 Level. The biggest difference is in the recruitment process

That was a lot of info . . I think having a break down on screen while you explained the differences would be helpful. Also, a breakdown of fbs vs fcs would be a cool topic to go over. Thanks for this vid man!

I played at one of the best passing offense D2 schools in ncaa history. I played with all Americans, guys who got chances in the nfl, and guys who transferred from big D-1, schools. I played with a linebacker from USC and he said the only difference between D-1, and D2 is how much money your school has and how many people you play in front of.

I'm a UW-Whitewater grad and loved seeing my team highlighted for D3!!

As a D3 athlete it really is tough. We have so much limitation and little help at my uni I feel as though it’s high school part two with a little bit better academics and better sports that’s all

The amount of allowed scholarships is the biggest difference.

I played Division 2 football at a PSAC school and we had a bunch of guys who could have played D-1 ball. In fact we had a really good OL who was 6’5, 320lbs who came to us from a high school where he played on 4 straight state championship teams. Never made any sense to me why he didn’t get recruited by Penn State, Pitt, etc..

As a UC Santa Cruz student, I was surprised to hear my school brought up out of nowhere at 1:18

Penn State, since I am an alum. But I enjoy watching college football. No matter the level.
