Topics - 02 Warhawk

#1
I read today that 20 NCAA schools are currently being investigated for academic misconduct. The good news is only one of which is a DIII school (18 DI and 1 DII). My curiosity is spiking as to which DIII school it is, and hopefully it's not a severe case.

According to the report, the cases being investigated are in various stages, from a preliminary inquiry, to schools waiting to hear back from the Committee on Infractions. Some of the alleged infractions concern athletes receiving impermissible assistance from professors, academic advisers or people not connected with an athletic department.

Seems like once a year we get news about a DIII football program getting dinged by the NCAA. Luckily it's been nothing serious.

Looks like we're the last region to get one of these started up. So, I'll be happy to organize one if we can get at least 10 reliable voters. We can use D3football.com's West Region team list as eligible teams to consider. I'm hoping to get two or three people from each conference to participate, if possible. With no more than one representative/fan from each school.....just to have a fair and unbiased poll as possible. Since we're halfway through this season already, I will probably won't start until the 2015 season.

This could be fun, considering (as we all know) the West is where the power conferences in DIII reside  :P  ;)

So if you're fan of a West region team (MIAC, WIAC, MWC, IIAC, SCIAC, UMAC, or NWC) and interested in doing this next year, you can send me a message or sign up here:

Please, one person per school (sorry UWW fans)  :-\ .

General football / Most hated schools
August 07, 2014, 03:22:23 PM
Came across something that was pretty cool (click on it to enlarge)



This got me thinking of what a DIII football "most hated" map would look like. I'm guessing the map would have a lot of purple in it. The only states not in purple might be the Northeast and Southeast parts of the country. However, since Mount always ends up in the East playoff region....the NE might be purple as well.

I wouldn't mind getting other people's thoughts from around the D3 world, especially those from the Southeast and Northeast.

I think it'll be cool to get a collective list going, from state to state.

For example:

Wisconsin: UW-Whitewater
Ohio: Mount Union
Minnesota: UST (barely edging out SJU and UWW)
Oregon: Linfield
Texas: MHB

I wanted to avoid creating a new thread for this, but I couldn't find an appropriate place to post this....so here it is.

After watching a few Mount Union games this season it got me thinking of the level of talent Mount brings in, compared to other football programs. The difference is staggering. So staggering that I don't think it's matched in any other level of football...which is bad news for many D3 football teams.

I've started up a collection of different D3 school paraphernalia and I would love to expand my collection, but it's not easy.

I have a sports bar theme going in basement, and I thought it would be cool to add a few shelves to display different "stuff" from different D3 schools around the country. My ultimate goal (as impossible as it may seem) is to collect something from each D3 school out there

Obviously, there's no way in my lifetime I'm going to make it every D3 school. So I thought it would be a good idea to setup a thread where we can arrange for items to possibly be traded, if anyone wishes to do so. So, If anyone is interested, I would be open to trading a UWW key chain for a (insert DIII school here) key chain, or whatever sort of little trinket you might have. Also, it doesn't have to be sports related, anything with the school's logo or name on it will suffice.

Possible items (but not limited too): hats, key chains, pins, pennants, mugs, pint glass, anything really...

So, if anyone has anyone interest in doing something like that, by all means, post something here....or send me a PM.

Much appreciated.

For those that haven't read it yet, it looks like the NCAA is going to make some post season changes.

I hope they eventually approve the other suggestions that are currently tabled...regarding a new SOS format.
