What a recruit needs before this school can say yes
- → No NCAA floor — a higher bar instead: D3 has no Eligibility Center gate, so admissions IS the gate, and at this school it's a demanding one (see the numbers above).
- → The money is academic: no athletic scholarships in D3 — merit and need-based aid do the work, and they follow the transcript.
