All Things 2025 College Football D2 and D3 Thread

[Some guy]

I understand why it was founded. But that's not really the case today.

I don’t know the story behind everyone but for a school like st Thomas

They’re in the league because while transitioning they either were going to play non scholarship D1 or drop football.
They simply can’t afford it at this moment.

It st Thomas could’ve done d1 in everything but left football in the MIAC, I think they would’ve. But that’s not legal

Do you have any proof of this, even anecdotal?

I don't know what GG is exactly talking about but private schools for sure have more discretion to hand out scholarships of any type, including "academic" scholarships to athletes. Either via coaching or just families I know, I know of multiple examples of this. It's not even just the good programs. Some pretty bad programs handing out money just to fill out a roster.

That said, total cost of attendance could still end up being higher at the private school.
