"Going D1" to say they did it is sending a ton of kids to horrible schools and horrible programs.

I could name at least 20 D3 schools better than the bottom half+ of the a10, ASUN, MAAC, CAA, America East.

If your kid is looking at those schools, I ask- Why?

Go to an established top 20 D3 program that supports its program. There are plenty of great schools in the NESCAC, ODAC, Centennial schools that would be better a education, better lacrosse and competition, and a better experience for your kid. Low end D1 isn't good.
