D3 with sports or D1 with no sports

There’s going to be more stress at a D1 level program that competes for NCAA championships every year, say like the Oklahoma softball program (the SEC is tops for softball), for instance, versus a middling or worse D1 softball program.

What I would say is that, for whatever reason, if the kid were to stop playing the sport, then which school would she love most to attend and remain there w/o playing the sport?
