when comparing mens programs and D1 to D2, there are several guys that can play either level; depends on what they are looking for in a program and school; they may start as a freshmen for a d2 and only get minutes for a d1. the # of schools that offer men's soccer is low so that is why the quality at both levels is so high. On the other hand, when you compare women's division, there is a big gap between divisions, not saying some d2 programs can't compete against d1 but putting them up against the big conferences, yes there is.
