I have a year of eligility left after I graduate in December - looking to start grad school next fall and use that year for big things. I\'ll have been in college for 5 years, but only used 8 semesters (took 1 sem off to work). D2 colleges only since NCAA/NAIA rules won't let me use a full year anywhere else. Must be in the eastern time zone or if central, pretty far east in the central time zone.
are you a guy or girl? what are your times?
You'll have to do the research but these might fit your criteria.
Gettysburg College
College of William & Mary
Dickinson
Lafayette
Dude...read the thread at least...
Laf and william and mary are d1
gburg and dickinso are d3
SOme options might be...all the psac schools...shippensburg, west chester, bloomsburg, etc. The NE 10 whihc includes umass lowell, stonehill, st. rose, the cacc which has lots of xc programs but only one or two with track... georgian court (if you are a chick), dominican.
I would start with those.
Would agree that the best D2's in the east are the PSAC schools.
There are zero good academic D2 schools.
Call me elitist or whatever, but if you try to name one you'll be throwing out decidedly mediocre schools.

I can't believe someone beat me to this post. Good D2 academic school? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
History? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The only majors you will find in D2 are infant and child development and everyone gets an A. That is...as long as you develop properly.
Cheers
Colorado School of Mines. That's the ONLY D2 school that I can think of with good academics, and that's only if you're interested in engineering.
Is Queens College in Charlotte academically good? That's where Simmons is.
And UC San Diego
From looking at the US News rankings in history, it looks like the only good D2 schools are the UCs (Davis, Irvine, San Diego). But here's a list of D2 schools, so you can look into their history programs (you can sort this by state).

Grand Valley is harder to get into these days than Michigan State is, and they've got a pretty good reputation in business and health sciences. But no history grad degrees.
I's say to look into Wayne State- actually a better academic rep for grad programs than undergrad programs, and they've got a D2 cross country team. The big problem with them is that they're in Detroit.

Yea, OK, this is basically the only exception.
The second tier UC's aren't really good, just hard to get into because the are cheap for in-state students. Nobody outside California stretches to go to UC Davis.
