D3 vs. D1-AA, D2 and others

I was going to say that ND looks like they need to join the UMAC.

Maybe they should.  ND has no real seniors and doesn't allow redshirting or athletic scholarship transfers.  They have a few (very average) juniors.  The starters are freshmen, sophomores and a few 5th yr seniors who agreed to stay on.  The best they can do is 7-5, but after watching today, 6-6 seems optimistic.

duh... what is the difference between a 5th yr senior and a redshirt senior ?
how can they have 5th yrs if they didn't red shirt,,medical or other wise.... ?

Medicals okay at ND.  If player is injured and still has eligibility, he can petition for 5th year.  5th year is not automatic and not given to anyone who asks.  Athlete must be outstanding student-athlete to earn 5th year.  Most 5th years have earned their degrees and take graduate courses the final season.

i still do not no how u have '5th yr who agreed to stay'...if they weren't red shirted.....?

most of the 5th yr seniors at auburn or alabama also have thier degrees...word... so.... i am unsure that that is a big deal...... they just call the 5th yr seniors...red shirts in alabama

Twin,
It's all about the student-athlete being on path to graduate on time.  You can read about it at link below to know more.  Peace.

Had to fact-check something today (a reference to Morningside being in D3), and found this story about the demise of the D2 NCC, one of their top conferences. It would be like us watching the OAC crumble.

http://sports.aol.com/story/_a/nccs-last-once-mighty-d-ii-league-starts/n20070824140709990039

It's sort of old, and AP, but I was still interested.

The by-line of that article is "Dave Campbell".

There is no more revered name in Texas Football circles or Texas sports journalism than Dave Campbell.  I hope that it is one and the same.   

[K-Mack]

Pretty sure those are different Dave Campbells Ralph. Isn't your Dave about 70?

The Waco, Texas Dave Campbell published the first Texas Football Magazine in 1960.  Dave is probably closer to 85-90.

Thanks, K-Mack.
