Time commitment of a Division-I athlete is much greater on a daily basis with individual training, speed and agility training, strength training, practice. Those hours spent during the day working as an athlete are very different than that of the Division-III athlete. A Division-III athlete goes through a normal school day, probably practices two -- we practice two hours a day after class-time and then they are released back to being students again. So we practice 4:30-6:30, if we happened to be inside we might practice at a different time, but it's almost a two-hour time block because we respect the fact that the student athletes here are students first, and everything that we need to finish has to be finished within a two-hour time-frame.
