I get what you are saying @MNDad , but I think that still perpetuates the myth of it as some sort of ranking system where people believe their daughter is going to get her college fully paid for.
D1/D2/D3 refers only to the amount of money a school wants to spend on the sport. The rest of what you say absolutely can go hand in hand with that, but that isn't what determines those classifications.
Here's a list of all the D1 schools ranked by RPI: https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/softball/d1/ncaa-womens-softball-rpi I'm guessing there are more than a few teams on this list that most people have never heard of. A lot of them don't have anything in common with the Oklahomas and the UCLAs other than the D1 designation. I'm pretty sure the top D1 and D2 teams would be more than just competitive against many of them.
