We are looking at a small D1 school (total undergrad enrollment 2300), and I was surprised that they were D1. They are heavily endowed and have the program that DD is interested in. And the interest might be two way...will know more by first week of November. Anyhow, I guess I thought that divisions operated much in the same way that school districts are classified (by size). Obviously, I am wrong wrong wrong. So how does a school obtain D1/D2/D3 status?
