There is some truth to the D2 comparison, at times. For example, this is how a school like Emporia State landed Leon Lett.
Tough for some high schoolers to get in the likes of a Michigan, Ohio State, etc. as an out-of-stater. D2s will have lesser admissions requirements, of course.
Now, once the yutes get on campus, there is no question that they are expected to perform in the classroom, so this is where the junior college analogy breaks down.
