It will be interesting if D3 moves to 5 year eligibility. Will players stick around for 1 more semester? How many classes would they have to take that final semester at what cost? Could they get assistance for those expenses?

Such a competitive, well fought football game between 2 evenly matched teams/rivals on Saturday. I was hoping to rewatch the game some time, but have been struggling to find the recording on YouTube, NCC website or anywhere else. Is there a trick to finding North Central's gamecast afterward? Do they delay the release? My prior understanding has been that only North Park from the CCIW has hidden the recording.

Your "prior understanding" is in error. North Park isn't hiding anything. All of the games and matches livestreamed by the Viking Sports Network can also be accessed through the CCIW Network. This includes games and matches that North Park loses, which is more than I can say for some other schools. For instance, when I tried to watch the archived gamecast of North Park's win at Carthage in women's soccer last week (which I couldn't watch live, because I was calling the men's soccer game between North Park and Carthage in Chicago at the same time that the Vikings/Firebirds women's game was being played in Kenosha), I discovered that Carthage hadn't archived it, either in-house or on the CCIW Network.

North Park has only played one home football game this year. That game was against North Central, in which, as has been annually true for longer than I care to think, the Vikings were routed. Guess what? That game is archived on the CCIW Network, as it should be.

Truly no personal effrontery intended, Greg. Several years ago, I had started going back and watching all of the Wheaton football games online after attending the games in person (silly hobby, but it's all I have outside of my personal, spiritual and professional life), and at the time I had thought NPU was the only school to prevent access in the "On Demand" section of the athletics website. They absolutely limited access then (2023?). I recall that UW-Whitewater would not allow access after games as well...

That said, would you have any ideas on how to find and access the North Central showing of the LBB game? And why would NCC do that? Fear some team will have access and see something they shouldn't??

It used to be for all the schools the streams including archives (for some schools) were available on school sites. Last year they introduced the CCIW network.
If I recall for NPU you needed a password to see their archived games on their site.
We all watched the LBB game on the CCIW network live but unfortunately you can't find it archived anywhere else. From what I can tell NCC and Carthage are not archiving their past home games on the CCIW network. All the other schools have their games available.

The last part. NCC chooses to not have their games available after the live broadcast. It's unfortunate for the fans for sure.

I believe Hazz the MIAC board regular posted about this at some point earlier this season. It is part of the pitch WIAC teams give for players to "gray shirt." I believe you only have to take a couple of classes for that semester in order to be eligible.

I played a 5th year myself back in 2010 but I had already graduated. I only had to take 2 grad courses that fall to be eligible. NCC was on trimesters then though so not sure if that makes it different than semesters.

Yes my son was a 5th year senior due to Covid. It's not necessarily an extra whole year and yes I hear WIAC schools basically have 5 year academic programs.
