He didn't register any stats but someone in the comments on the preseason All-America team said Jung got playing time in the Badger opener and played well.

Yep, so, Canton told the NCAA they don't want to host a night game, and with that, we might have to accept a midweek day game.

Because some places like to be squishy on the number of returning starters, I specify that we want to know about people who started more than half of the games at a position, or if none, whoever started the most. That way there can only really be one starter at a position.

Quote from: Raider 68 on Yesterday at 12:59:06 PMRaider game on Saturday 1:00 PM or 1:30 PM, there are conflicting starting times?

Wheaton web site had it as 1:00 PM all summer; Mount Union web site had it as 1:30 PM.

Now Mount Union web site has switched to 1:00 PM as well, and the FloFootball web site shows a 1:00 PM stream start time. So it seems like the earlier time is the one.

When two schools disagree on a game time, we usually trust the home team.

Thanks for the heads-up -- I updated our site to read 1:00.

We sent out an email last week to all of the schools to ask them to please double-check game times and the schedule on our site. The game time that was correct in April when we added the game apparently is no longer correct, and schools don't tell us when they change game times.

On the positive side, we did end up hearing back from about 80 Division III schools to say they had looked it over!

I think that there is a range of opinions on which WIAC team is the one that will be on top in November, and that's why none of them are in the top 10 from our voters right now.

A reminder that we are indeed talking about 2026.

Quote from: SagatagSam on July 19, 2023, 01:06:19 PMNot only do we have the 2026 enrollment cliff, but the birthrate has continued to slow.

I saw this and thought it would be relevant to the future of D3 looking out at a timeline over the next 1-2 decades. We could be going from a bad situation in 2026 to an even worse one by the mid-2030s. Have a look at the states that are seeing precipitous drops in children ages 0-4. If I were a college administrator in the states that had 5%+ declines in young children, I would be very worried about survival. Factor in that unless you are a college with a national brand, you probably aren't pulling a meaningful percentage of your students from out of state. According to a study out of the University of Wisconsin the majority of students go to college within 50 miles of where they grew up: "At public four-year colleges, the median distance students live from home is 18 miles. That number is 46 miles for private nonprofit four-year colleges, and only eight miles at public two-year colleges."

... no cliff for Case Western Reserve does not mean no cliff, still.

Quote from: Pat Coleman on August 25, 2025, 05:16:34 PMBy NCAA rules, if those players practice with the team beyond the first game of the season, they use a season of eligibility in doing so.

Thanks Pat. Interesting. Does that rule apply only in D3?

Division III schools voted to eliminate the non-medical redshirt a little over 20 years ago, yes.

Yes, if someone (anyone, whether they are one of these taxi squad-type members or not) got hurt in the first third of the season and DNP'd after that, they could get a medical redshirt season.

Hi Pat! We believe that is correct, however, D3 student-athletes can and do apply for waivers to the medical red-shirt rule (and from what we understand, these waivers have been granted in the past).

Sure -- the guidelines I cited are just a guideline. People can certainly apply for waivers and the entire process is handled through the conference office, actually.

Bethel's preseason report to our Top 25 voters had 1 starter returning on defense.

Mount Union is absolutely a top D3FB program!
