What does this mean ? Why would the D3 type schools be different on game day - in regards to being a part of a team, etc ?

U of SC deferred and yes accepted some last year - with higher stats. UTK’s acceptance rate has plummeted.

That you have sure fire acceptances - assuming no budget concerns - is all that matters. So if some go differently than you expect, there’s no issue as you have others behind it.
