i wouldn’t say it’s overrated outside the top 40. The football money of any P5 and many mid majors provides athletic and educational benefits most schools at other levels can’t come close to matching. I think it’s great your DD was lucky to have the option of choosing the level that’s right for her. That doesn’t mean D1 is a bad choice for others.To be honest i'd shoot somewhere down the middle. You don't learn a ton or improve a ton on the bench. If the other org has a great training program that is one thing, but if not, can buy a bunch of plastic trophies for about $20.00.
edit: and about the D1 thing, it's pretty over rated outside of the top 30-40 teams. Rest of it is pretty much a wash. My DD had offers to go D1 she is smarter than me and gave them a no thanks and will play at a top D3 school.
