That's how I understood it as well. It was highly selective. A couple guys I played with in high school played football there and they were super smart. They were still D2 - NSIC then. Also, dating back to its origins, before it became part of the U, it still admits Native American students for...

Interesting article this weekend about the struggles UM-Morris is having enrollment-wise. Wonder if that school will even exist in a few years.

There are 40 teams in the D3 playoffs.

Imagine thinking it's any of your business how people want to spend their own money.

Yep. It used to be the flagship of the MnSCU system, but has been long passed by Mankato. My alma mater, MSU Moorhead has lost about 50% from it's peak, but they've been steadily improving the campus. I was there last month and it's looking really nice now, and they're making improvements to the...

I was thinking it was Iowa Central CC, which is a JUCO. Never mind...

I live in the Twin Cities, but my cabin zip code is 54847. :)

Trestman comes to mind (though if you look at the stats of the QB's when he was either a QB coach or OC, many had career years).

I'd agree with that. I don't think many would choose a D3 as a sports fan unless they were playing, or involved with a team (like a student trainer) somehow. But there are totally kids that would go to Bama or tOSU or Notre Dame for those reasons.

Central is a JUCO, isn't it? I know someone who went there to play baseball and received an offer from a major D1 school after playing there for two years.

Northland College in Ashland, WI, about 20 miles from where I'm sitting right now, had their final graduation this year as well but isn't on the map.

I think there's a LOT more interest in things like sports at a private D3 than at a public D2. At least in this area.

Same here in both cases.

Realistically, could Mankato go FCS but play in the Pioneer like St. Thomas, and move their other sports to the Summit?

I think Kill kind of had to hit the Juco ranks because of how many washouts and screwups Brew brought in.

Is this Jamestown's first football season in the conference?

I grew up reading the Pioneer Press. I'm honestly surprised they're still in business.

SMU Football in the 1980s?

And you'll never see promotion and relegation in any major North American sport because of the vast differences between team values and facilities between major and minor league organizations.

Good question, the best example to look to for this would be Indiana. NDSU (and to a lesser extent SDSU/UND/USD) going D1, even if FCS, has probably also had an effect on this. When I was in college across the river, NDSU was still D2. They won a lot, and people up there still made a big deal...
