In response to palestra38
I've recently visited some Div. 2/3 schools, and I have to say that the atmosphere is plenty good for the student-athletes (aside from the major revenue sports). For student-athletes in most sports, it isn't even such a step down. A tennis player at upper Div. 2/3 gets as many fans in the stands as a player at Penn, for example. It may not represent the same level of competition on average, though some of them are very good. The rest of the experience is probably unchanged. I clearly have a soft spot for basketball. Football teams are just too large for me to want to passionately support their scholarships and NIL.
