Why Is D-1 always the end all B all? There is no pro softball (at least legit money wise) to shoot for. Getting into college and using softball to help you get in is the goal! If a D-2 or below school is what your daughter wants due to size or education specialties or overall feel, and the school will pay, go there! The comparisons above is wrong! How about comparing how many of the girls are committed to play in college at each program!
