That list of D3 Men’s programs is fairly amusing. 30% of the ranking comes from prospective recruits online search activity/adding schools as “of interest” on their online recruiting profile. The rest of the ranking comes from non-soccer attributes.
If folks are interested in learning more about specific D3 conferences, teams, and coaches, a very useful resource is the message board on d3 men’s soccer. There are folks there, many former players, who comment knowledgeably about conferences, teams, style of play, coaches etc.
