That's a key point. A very large number of people don't know the difference between D1 and D3--much less have any idea what that says about your skill level as an athlete or the experience. For many future employers, "you played X in college" all means the same thing: you must have been really good and you probably have the sort of soft skills common to any high-level athlete (teamwork, resilience, drive, discipline, etc.) I have met more than a few people who assume (rightly or wrongly) that it must be more work to play at an academically demanding D3 than at a less academically demanding D1 because of the school work.In addition, having a sport on your resume goes a long way when you are looking for a job.
