Actually, Haverford’s website states that “About 40% of the college’s students play a varsity sport”.

And there are plenty of Haverford athletes that could have played at the D1 level. To suggest NESCAC’s and “certain other D3 schools” have a monopoly on the D1 recruit choosing D3 is simply misleading.

As to circuitrider’s quote “the higher the level of competition, the lower the percentage of participation in college sports” - this is largely due to school size. A majority of your D1 schools are large while a majority of your D3 schools are small. Percentage of population is therefore simple math.
