FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

Are d3 football players getting paid to play on their teams? 

I was with a friend last night whose son could end up playing college ball, and he made the comment: "Even D3 players are getting 40-60k per year".  I'd think not.

Maybe at the NESCAC schools as a means of recouping the tuition money parents had to pay out for the kids prep school year(s)? 

Was your friend drinking last night?

Bingo!

Johns Hopkins going undefeated would also be close per Logan's NPI tool.  If Ithaca and Susquehanna both go 9-1 with their only loss to JH, JH's average NPI is 81.437.  IF NCC goes 10-0 and Bethel goes 9-1 and Wartburg 8-2 (assuming a loss to UWRF) they average out at 81.145.  Wheaton 10-0 the highest I can get their avg NPI to in his tool is 80.672.

Ithaca vs. Cortland last game of season might be of interest.
Susquehanna lost to JHU and CNU last year. Not sure what expectations are for CNU this year.

I'll add keep an eye on Bethel @ St. John's on 10/3. If Bethel loses, outside of possibly getting knocked out of the playoffs, how does that affect NCC's NPI? Who knows, every .001 on the NPI might matter.

Forgive the non-football comment, but on this solemn day of 9/11 just wanted to send a special note of remembrance regarding Wheaton College graduate Todd Beamer and his fellow passengers on Flight 93. May they all rest in peace, and their heroism will never be forgotten. The school has a special remembrance page and a moving tribute narrated by Wheaton's former football HC Mike Swider. Let's roll.
