Hi,Guys
You would like to be your school jump to D1 level??
or stay D3 competition with D3 philosophy??
Where is your goal??
goes to stagg bowl or advance D3 final 4 ,something?
Would like to see against D1 shool all night?
Let's try getting D3 fans to post using some what grammatically correct English first ???
The OP's email address (ending in .ocn.ne.jp) may help explain the fractured grammar.
Gotcha, my apologies then.
I'm good with my conference (the UAA) staying as is. Hypothetically, because they are all nerd schools, it would be interesting to see which D1 Conferences each school would fit in if they were to move to D1...

Ironic that you complain about a posters grammar, yet incorrectly spell a high frequency word like the one highlighted!! I believe it's one word, not two. Sorry, but, since you placed the ball on the tee, it's should be OK for me to pull the driver out of my bag and give it a swing!! ;)
I think it's a common misconception from much of the general public that given the chance every D-II and D-III school would jump at the chance to be D-I. I think just about every D-III school is very happy to be in D-III. D-III provides a balance and perspective to the relationship between academics and athletics that is often lost at D-I. The sheer numbers of schools wanting to join D-III is an indication that there's something that colleges find desirable about D-III status.
In fact, I'd wager there's probably more D-I schools who secretly would like to be D-II or D-III than vice versa. They just haven't had the courage or an undeniable impetus to make it happen. The beauty of the NCAA system is there's no artificial limits in place. Every college can be in exactly the division they want to be in, based on their goals and motivations.

Thats right, "some what" grammatically correct allows for some errors :)

Only two schools applied to enter the D3 affiliation pipeline this year, so I wonder if the clamor to join D3 has finally begun to die down.

I think the message has finally gotten out that joining D-III isn't going to be easy anymore. It's going to be at least four years (if you're lucky) and the powers that be have no problems setting you back a year if you come up short on a requirement.
Meanwhile, D-II is opening their arms a little wider, which is probably a good thing since they have the most room to grow.

D-II is probably more akin to NAIA-1 than is D-III.
