I get to go to a handful of Michigan State University men's soccer games each year. MSU is having a good year, and it has a couple of really good players. The Big Ten Conference has a few good programs, like Indiana, and now Maryland. I've seen a lot of D1 soccer come through East Lansing. I've also been following NESCAC soccer for the past four or five years, and D3 Michigan programs like Calvin. The elite D3 soccer stacks up to the D1s, in my opinion, and I have to say that I often find it more entertaining. And, also, while some D3 conferences and programs are stronger and weaker than others, the exact same thing can be said for D1 and 2. That's my take.
