Comparing and Contrasting NCAA Division I, II and III Tennis
College tennis is an exciting avenue for young athletes to pursue their passion for the sport while obtaining a quality education. Within the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), college tennis is divided into three divisions: Division I, Division II, and Division III. While Division I tennis often takes the spotlight, Division II and III also offer distinctive opportunities and experiences for student-athletes. In this blog, we will delve into the differences and unique aspects of NCAA Division II and III tennis compared to Division I.
1. Scholarship Opportunities
One of the most notable distinctions between NCAA Division II and III tennis compared to Division I lies in scholarship opportunities. Division I schools typically have larger athletic budgets, allowing them to offer a higher number of athletic scholarships to their tennis players. On the other hand, Division II schools provide partial athletic scholarships, while Division III schools do not offer athletic scholarships at all. Instead, Division III institutions focus on need-based financial aid and academic scholarships, making them an attractive option for student-athletes seeking a well-rounded education without relying solely on their athletic prowess.

Re: Comparing and Contrasting NCAA Division I, II and III Tennis
Agree. Some examples of good pros coming out of NCAA colleges are available. Anderson and Norrie come to mind.
Short story. Ages ago, at the club I used to play in Caracas, the kids around 14-15 decided (which was very mature to do) that they knew they were not going to reach the pros; they were not that good. But several thought that their tennis was good enough for a NCAA scholarship, if they worked hard. One member of the club was a former Vennie pro, who had good contacts in the NCAA and several colleges.
They did it. At least 4 of them got scholarships for either DIV 1 or DIV 2. So, they did not get to make a living out of tennis. But tennis helped them get the education to make a living.

I consider this our college tennis thread. USA Today just published a long story about cheating and new rules to address it.

Very interesting.
I have said, for a long time in my life, that if you really want to know a person, play a tennis match against her. The cheaters can't help it. This sport will strip you to the bone.
