My comment referring to the lack of D1 alumni could have been phrased better.  That comment was in response to Zarathrusta's comment in their post "I found no reports of alumnae at MAJOR DIVISION I WBB programs, e.g.
they report an athlete playing at WESTERN KENTUCKY (!!!!!!! ?????). Z"

If they're focused solely on helping athletes gain a scholarship outright, that's great.  However from my experience watching the prep school environment in Canada and some of the schools in the US, there is a lot of misrepresentation in what these schools have accomplished.

As a former coach who saw how this affected the families of kids I've coached and friends personally, I'm a tad more sensitive to this.  Families are paying the equivalent of college tuition, along with other expenses, in the hopes of getting that scholarship and it's hard to watch when things don't work out.  It shouldn't be this way, but this is the trend in youth sports as a whole from what I'm observing.
