[QUOTE="IllinoisssssssVarsity, post: 1776398, member: 747262"] Yeah in individual sports NAIA athletes can be just as good as your D1s. I have 2 track kids who just graduated going NAIA who could have both gone D1 (talking aTm and Clemson level offers). In individual sports your performances can still shine through because most times there’s just a “college division” in open competitions so you compete and get recognized with the best. In team sports it’s harder, because the budgets are smaller, the facilities aren’t as good. So while there’s definitely a possibility there’s D1 talent playing NAIA, an NAIA team won’t have the depth of talent because it can’t compete in other areas. [/QUOTE]
