St. Mary's is a public school in Maryland as well but I don't know the details as to whether they belong specifically to the University System of Maryland.

Whittier announces initial recruiting class of 26 (24 freshmen, two transfers).  Would expect higher numbers next year as the HC only came onboard in February, plus it's gotta be easier to tell prospective players they'll have a chance to make plays on the field as opposed to just prepairing for a year.

SC amazing content! Thanks for keeping us in the game.

Another in the books.  Really like connecting with Coach Dezotell.  Always something to learn.

2025 Season Preview w/ Kyle Dezotell, Head Men's Coach at @tuftsu

Not a full schedule, but Denison coach Brandon Bianco revealed on his interview with Simple Coach that they are traveling to the NJ/NYC area the first weekend of the season to play Stevens on Friday night and then Stockton on Sunday and then the second weekend (which we already knew about through their opponents' respective schedules) they are hosting Franklin & Marshall on Friday night and Johns Hopkins on Sunday.  Three NCAA tournament teams in the first four games with a fourth game against a team that made the NJAC championship game last season is one way to open the season after graduating 11 contributing players from last year's team.

I think this only applies to Salisbury among DIII schools, but reflects the broadly applicable trend

University of Maryland System told campuses to brace for 7% budget cuts on top of 4% cuts announced earlier

QuoteCampuses in the University System of Maryland were warned Thursday afternoon to brace for another 7% cut to their budgets in the coming year, on top of the 4% the system was forced to absorb as part of a statewide budget challenge earlier this year.

University System Chancellor Jay Perman, in a video message to more than 40,000 faculty and staff at campuses across the state, said individual campus presidents all agree that personnel cuts should be a last resort. But he noted that, given the size of the reduction and the different situations on different campuses, "for some universities, personnel actions cannot be taken off the table."

And he warned that the fiscal situation would likely get worse, as federal budget reductions and job cuts continue this year.

Baruch College is seeking an away contest to play on December 28, 29, or 30. We are looking to travel within two hours of New York City. If interested, please contact John.Neves@baruch.cuny.edu.

That Guy

I think these camps still are a source of income, not like a D3 coach are not starving. Plus its really good exposure for UR with So Cal kids. Amazing how much it has grown.

I think the new OC will help UR, I think you will see a deeper play calling list and game plans should improve.
All that said it comes down to Jimmy's and Joe's, and not trying to be a downer, but the O linemen issue will always an issue in the SCIAC...best O line wins league...

Beloit

A 2-16 team is going to have a hard time finding a schedule to get them some wins.  Nevertheless, this schedule seems harder rather than easier.  Gone are Lakeland, Eureka, Saint Mary's (MN), Principia, and Westminster.  In their place, they've added games against Earlham, Rockford, Wisconsin-Stout, Wisconsin-Eau Claire

Roanoke

It's easier to mention the non-conference opponents they keep this year - William Peace and Penn State Abington - than the ones they dropped.  They add Washington College (MD), Stevenson, Brevard, Methodist, Washington & Lee and Mary Washington.  That's probably an upgrade from last season, when the stronger teams they played were Catholic, Emory, Oglethorpe, Marietta, and Centre.

Just posted some graphs on Twitter, and figured this was the best board to post them to on here. Should come as no surprise that the WIAC has the toughest non-conference schedules in the country. Given that and their projected winning percentage in those games, the conference should be setup nicely to assist any 8-2 (or "7-2" of you play a non-DIII opponent) teams in getting an at-large bid to the playoff.
