So what is college softball like for the student-athlete?

Someone mentioned buying two of everything... Where is cutoff in school purchased equipment? I know alot of D1's have sponsorship deals with big equipment companies... where does that stop? D2, D3, NAIA? Do they get whatever they want (gloves, bats, etc). Was always curious how that worked.

I think it's different for every school but at my DD school (D1) they get everything free. From gloves and bats to warm-up suits and turf shoes.
