It's ridiculous, D3 needs a limit on how many players you can have.

I didn't play football, but I went to Albion in the late 80s-early 90s. From 1989-96, we won or shared our conference title each year, and we won the 1994 DIII National Championship over Washington and Jefferson. That playoff run included a 1 point win over Mount Union in the 2nd round (the video mentions Mount Union not making the DIII Quarterfinal "for the first time since 1994.") While the Brits have had some decent teams in the last 30 years, that stretch from 89-96 was memorable.

D3 in mass is fun, since not everybody goes to the big schools like BC or UMass, the D3 atmospheres are different since they’re made up of more of ya friends that you know.
Nate Jackson went to Menlo College (which no longer has a football program) and ended up playing for the Broncos. He didn't have an illustrious career, but to make a pro team and play special teams and not entirely ride the bench isn't something most colleges players would scoff at.
Just saw this in my recommended. This video was amazing, very well made. We need more d3 content! Absolutely love the channel so far and will be binging the rest of the the videos made this far.

I grew up going to elementary school next door to Wesley College (DE). I was a huge fan! Was very close with a lot of coaches/students there as an adult. So sad to see the school get bought out. If you didn’t know, Delaware State now owns the school.
Fun fact: Tiny Oberlin College (NCAC) - for a while now one of the lower-end teams in D3 - is still the last college football team from Ohio to beat Ohio State, around 103 years ago (1921). Their first college football coach was also THE John Heisman. I just wish a lot of our winning history was more in the present... regardless, Go Yeo!
St. Norbert may not have the greatest football team, but their men's hockey team in the NCHA (Northern Collegiate Hockey Association) is a powerhouse! 5 D3 National Titles with their 1st in 2008! GO GREEN KNIGHTS!
Fun fact, I attended Louisiana College for 3 years and it's first 2 years, we were NCAA D3. I played baseball for the school, not football, but that was a brutal 2 years of watching football. 3rd year, we went NAIA and did better in all sports, football especially
At UW Platteville, it’s awesome because most high school friends all went to other UW schools, so you get a rivalry with them. Didn’t know WI had so many D3
My dad went to North Central. He’s been very proud of them these past couple years lol. I went to a D2 school (McKendree) and we were a powerhouse in bowling until recently
As someone who lives down the road from Mount Union, there are 4 high schools they scout in my area. West Branch, Marlington, Alliance and Salem high schools.
A few people I knew were on the Whitewater,WI national championship teams it was them and Mount Union for awhile….im a fan of all football these days though….it can be scary violent at times but if you have played you know it takes all 11 players to make plays
Nice job on MIAC! I even noticed you used the updated logo for Macalester despite that only being around for a couple months. Also covered the St. Thomas kerfuffle. Good work.

Hi! I've been enjoying watching this video a lot and I'll finish watching it later (I'm watching this in my car outside my doctor's office lol) but it reminds me of how much D3 basketball has impacted my own life. My local D3 team has had a great effect on myself and the surrounding community and I've always been interested in all the opponents we've played over the years. I'd love to take my own deep dive into how it works like this video has. I don't know if I'd make my own video about it but the idea seems really cool. Thanks for making this! And P.S. Honestly, as exciting as March Madness is, I'm almost always watching the d3 tournament instead 😂
Also I just love the D3 vibe more than any D1 deal. You get to know the players, the coaches, people you go to school with are at the game. Heck, these two brothers who own a restaurant in town are at every home game without fail! The local team I watched (go Skidmore!) even ran a summer camp for girls and boys for several sports that was really awesome.
Played 2 years at Northwestern-St.Paul. Spent more time hurt than playing, so i joined the radio play by play team. Got to see UNW finally beat St.Scholastica for the UMAC title that year. We could never seem to beat them. We made up for it by owning their asses in basketball.
I’m a student at Moravian University and I never thought to go to a game even though I love CFB but now I’m pretty interested in D3 so you inspired me to go nice job!
I live in the City and made it to a McDaniel game for the first time this past season. Loved all the canopies/tents around the stadium and the whole in-game tailgate vibe. Definitely will be back.
I was a ball boy at d3 Hobart for my four years there. lacrosse players had to work home games, and I lucked out and got asked to be the ball boy. a lot of action, running up and down the sideline, staying next to the ref.
There is some history with these teams that many don't know about. In 1926, Carnegie-Mellon (then Carnegie Tech) beat Knute Rockne's Fighting Irish of Notre Dame 19-0. The Irish were on their way to a national championship without giving up a point in 8 games before running into Tech. One of the biggest upsets of all time. Go Tartans!
HOPE College! Nothing better than seeing a HOPE home game in the Fall months! D-3 has teams that are really good, and some that a just bad, like high schools might beat them. But D2 and D3 is still fun to watch!
They could actually expand their playoff field. What I don't get though is how Division 2 now FCS, and Division 3 and even JUCO, gave figured out how to make the playoff system work, and Division 1 or FBS are struggling in how to make the same work for them. Plus I am familiar with the UMAC as I live in St. Paul, MN now since 2010, and the University of Minnesota-Morris Cougars as my dad, mom, and my mom's 2 sisters each married a football player. But hopefully they can get back on track, the Cougar have been a bottom feeder for quite awhile. Sorry UMM just calling it how I see it.
I don't know if there are other examples, but the Fargo, ND-Moorhead, MN area has colleges representing all three NCAA divisions: D-I: North Dakota State University, Fargo (FCS in football); D-II: Minnesota State University-Moorhead; D-III: Concordia College, Moorhead.
This video was awesome, I have seen your content on tiktok and this came on my recommended, I played at WLC from 2017-19, I am not sure if they still do this but each year a NACC school would play one non conference game against an MIAA, a different team won the conference each year I was there and I will plea ignorance but to my knowledge there is one rivalry game in the conference where there is a trophy and that is WLC and CUW for the Luther Cup, keep up the good work
5:17 "But if you ask me, WestConn has the best stadium. (in their conference)" I can confirm. Did a Joe Namath football camp there back in summer '07, then as I got older had some friends play for WestConn (when they were still the Colonels!) Yeah it's a nice stadium for sure. That said, I went to Dean for my freshman year, Go Bulldogs!
I like that it's the champions that move forward. Having two schools from the same conference in CFP is silly. Give the champions from every conference a chance.
I love D3 football, i also played semi pro football for many years, it was cool to play alongside alot of D2-D3 football players, it was a blast. The Wiac is no joke
Fun fact: Albright is the worst NCAA college FB team (according to my research.) They went 0-10, 9 of them scoring 10 or less points. lost by no less than 8. 378 total points scored on.
Washington University in St. Louis AKA "Wash-U" has all other sports in the University Athletic Association, which stopped sponsoring football. Fontbonne University across the street had the it's campus purchased by Wash-U & will close it's doors after the 2025 school year.
To think I could have gone to most of these, and was so close to going to Alma, but due to money issues I'm stuck at a school without sports. Idk why this makes me sad, but Go Scots! (They treated me amazing and I was so depressed I didn't have the money to go out of state)
I played at UW - Eau Claire in the 2010’s and can attest to the WIAC being the SEC of D3😂, pretty sure back than Whitewater could have been a playoff team in D2.
OK, so no D-III teams in Hawai’i, but what about Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Minor Outlying Territories?
I grew up in Sewanee and absolutely love the place, so I am taking this opportunity to share a story about my hometown team. I don't know how well-known it is, so y'all might have already heard this one before, but still. Sewanee (more formally known as the University of the South) is really bad at football these days. Just atrocious. The Tigers' last winning season was in 2000, and since then they've also ended up totally winless in four of them. Sewanee's a tiny town, and the whole place revolves around the college, but the football team is very much an afterthought. When I was a kid, people supported them as much as they did any of the Tigers sports teams, but there just weren't that many football fans. Sewanee has a very unique population for southern TN, composed of sort of hippie-ish academia folks, and as far as sports go they're generally way more into mountain biking and hiking, things like that (the mountains are absolutely gorgeous, so it's hard to blame them). We had kids commute in to my elementary school from Monteagle and Cowan, and they were basically the only ones I could talk to about football. So overall, it's a pretty crappy, poorly attended D3 team of a private Episcopal school of ~1600 students. But despite all that, in 2012, the College Football Hall of Fame voted the 1899 Sewanee Tigers football team as the greatest college football team of all time. Obviously 1899 was 125 years ago, and the structure of college football was very much in its prehistoric era. The sport probably didn't even look much like the modern game, but regardless, the things they managed to do during this season were just insane. They had a perfect 12-0 run while playing teams that are massive D1 names today like Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee. They outscored these opponents a ridiculous 322-10 over the course of the season, with those lone 10 points against being scored by John Heisman's Auburn (who played Sewanee to a very close 11-10 game). Incredibly, six of these 12 games took place on a single 2,500 mile train trip that was just 10 days long, including one stretch of 5 games in 6 days. These six games were all shutout victories. I remember my dad and I would go play all the time at our shitty little public golf course (it was like 5 bucks for 9 holes for both of us, we practically lived there). In the clubhouse there was a newspaper clipping hung up on the wall with a painting of the 1899 team collapsed in exhaustion. The headline read: "In 6 days, Sewanee beat Texas, Texas A&M, Tulane, LSU, and Ole Miss. On the 7th day, they rested." There's an awesome documentary up for free on PBS if you want to learn more: www.pbs.org/video/unrivaled-sewanee-1899-1vp1hk/ Anyway, that's my little hometown's claim to fame and I take any chance I can to ramble about it. Thanks for reading!
The fact the North Central College and Benedictine aren't in the same conference is ridiculous considering they are LITERALLY down the street from each other less than 2.5 miles apart!

My school just closed in the spring of 2023, RIP Finlandia Football
D3 has some of the coolest logos
Fun fact: Albright is the worst NCAA college FB team (according to my research.) They went 0-10, 9 of them scoring 10 or less points. lost by no less than 8. 378 total points scored on.
No Fitchburg state is the worst
I believe the Cortland-Ithaca game is the biggest littlest game in America my friend.
its crazy how sewanee was a founding SEC member
7:17 those jerseys are so tuff icl
Great job on this video! Also, I appreciate you pronouncing Reading correctly.
I did go that far to make sure everything was pronounced correctly.
Rhodes Vs Sewanee is the oldest college football rivalry in the entire country
Johns Hopkins is a member of the Big Ten in lacrosse.
Mount Union baby.
Purple Reign 💜
Washington University in St. Louis AKA "Wash-U" has all other sports in the University Athletic Association, which stopped sponsoring football. Fontbonne University across the street had the it's campus purchased by Wash-U & will close it's doors after the 2025 school year.
I actually almost went to Huntingdon to play tennis and football
Fun fact: Former SEC (yes, that SEC) team Sewanee is a modern day DIII team.
Alfred State football the best Team ECFC conference 😤🙌🏾
went to st norbert for football then my ankle exploded during summer practices woulda been cool to actually play
John’s Hopkins is good at football ? That’s crazy lol
To think I could have gone to most of these, and was so close to going to Alma, but due to money issues I'm stuck at a school without sports. Idk why this makes me sad, but Go Scots! (They treated me amazing and I was so depressed I didn't have the money to go out of state)
Very Bummed for you. Remember that everything happens for a reason, and remember that it's okay to trust the process.
I knew two of these haha! My mom went to Illinois Wesleyen and a lot of my friends went to MLC (Martin Luther)
CFB Fan of ALL Divisions and others Like NAIA. From Texas and have seen Trinity and MHB games in person in the past.
I played at UW - Eau Claire in the 2010’s and can attest to the WIAC being the SEC of D3😂, pretty sure back than Whitewater could have been a playoff team in D2.
OK, so no D-III teams in Hawai’i, but what about Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Minor Outlying Territories?
None
NOTE Carleton from MIAC is playing Pomona Pitzer tomorrow in California.
Scrimmage?
You should make a d3 football hype video 👀👀👀
As a former Maryville player I’d also like to point out Belhaven Has yet to beat Maryville college
EA NEEDS TO ADD D3 TO THE GAME
Cool
I grew up in Sewanee and absolutely love the place, so I am taking this opportunity to share a story about my hometown team. I don't know how well-known it is, so y'all might have already heard this one before, but still.
Sewanee (more formally known as the University of the South) is really bad at football these days. Just atrocious. The Tigers' last winning season was in 2000, and since then they've also ended up totally winless in four of them. Sewanee's a tiny town, and the whole place revolves around the college, but the football team is very much an afterthought. When I was a kid, people supported them as much as they did any of the Tigers sports teams, but there just weren't that many football fans. Sewanee has a very unique population for southern TN, composed of sort of hippie-ish academia folks, and as far as sports go they're generally way more into mountain biking and hiking, things like that (the mountains are absolutely gorgeous, so it's hard to blame them). We had kids commute in to my elementary school from Monteagle and Cowan, and they were basically the only ones I could talk to about football.
So overall, it's a pretty crappy, poorly attended D3 team of a private Episcopal school of ~1600 students. But despite all that, in 2012, the College Football Hall of Fame voted the 1899 Sewanee Tigers football team as the greatest college football team of all time. Obviously 1899 was 125 years ago, and the structure of college football was very much in its prehistoric era. The sport probably didn't even look much like the modern game, but regardless, the things they managed to do during this season were just insane. They had a perfect 12-0 run while playing teams that are massive D1 names today like Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee. They outscored these opponents a ridiculous 322-10 over the course of the season, with those lone 10 points against being scored by John Heisman's Auburn (who played Sewanee to a very close 11-10 game). Incredibly, six of these 12 games took place on a single 2,500 mile train trip that was just 10 days long, including one stretch of 5 games in 6 days. These six games were all shutout victories.
I remember my dad and I would go play all the time at our shitty little public golf course (it was like 5 bucks for 9 holes for both of us, we practically lived there). In the clubhouse there was a newspaper clipping hung up on the wall with a painting of the 1899 team collapsed in exhaustion. The headline read: "In 6 days, Sewanee beat Texas, Texas A&M, Tulane, LSU, and Ole Miss. On the 7th day, they rested."
There's an awesome documentary up for free on PBS if you want to learn more: www.pbs.org/video/unrivaled-sewanee-1899-1vp1hk/
Anyway, that's my little hometown's claim to fame and I take any chance I can to ramble about it. Thanks for reading!
Amazing.
Also a founding member of the SEC. YSR!
Let's Go SUNY Morrisville Mustangs!
Let’s go Whitworth!
shoutout JCU. go streaks
Westminster is located between Geneva and Grove City - W&J is down by Waynesburg…
Thank you for letting me know.
I know this would be a big ask, but would you have a compilation of the d3 logos? It's beyond hard to find these.
Ferrum is leaving D3? Wow I did not know that.
Would be cool if u could do this on men’s soccer and basketball
Ehhhh if I had help then sure
The fact the North Central College and Benedictine aren't in the same conference is ridiculous considering they are LITERALLY down the street from each other less than 2.5 miles apart!
Or belhaven and millsaps
Also the same scenario for Wilkes University and King’s College
It may be division 3 but a very large handful of them have a division 1 history.
Every school operated as one division until like the 50s
