News about NCAA Division III football. Use #d3fb to get more fans to see your tweets. No, we can't get you recruited, we aren't in charge of playoff brackets.

Huh. And yet 25,000 students each year manage to play college football without scholarships. #whyd3 #d3fb.
This can be a rough time of year for seniors trying to play college football. Years in the weight room, thousands of miles to camps/combines. Film shared weekly, Promises broken. and now, very few scholarships left. The dream of college football is turning into a nightmare.

Here's how it ended! Mount Union's Wayne Ruby catches the deflected pass off the HEAD of a Baldwin Wallace defender and somehow the Purple Raiders survive! #d3fb

Better get St. Olaf out of the MIAC, then. Unfair competitive edge. #tomtoss.
St. Olaf was voted the most beautiful college in MN by Travel+Leisure: We are located in the college town of Northfield. We are 40 min. from the Twin Cities with all of its resources. Our location gives us the best of both worlds. #UmYahYah #DefendTheHill

The NCAA Division III Management Council has approved football's expansion to a 40-team playoff. It now goes to the Presidents Council. (Typically, once it receives Management Council approval, the Presidents Council does not overrule it.) #d3fb.

You may have seen @abate_josh video of @kzoofootball @MaddyBarch and her historic two-point conversion. Here's another angle. She's open on the fire call after a bobbled snap and Josh Nichols throws her the pass. First known non-kicking points by a woman in NCAA football! #d3fb

Going to disagree here. Just because it isn't a scholarship offer doesn't mean it still isn't meaningful, especially to them. #d3fb.

We have mentioned previously that Division III members are talking about the logistics of expanding the #d3fb playoffs to 40 teams, and the hosts of the 2024 and 2025 Stagg Bowl have been asked if they could host the title game around the New Year. Relief may be coming!.

This is not the flex you think it is. A lot of guys who start out as freshmen on D3 rosters don't continue playing #d3fb because they find out quickly that Division 👏 III 👏 Football 👏 Is 👏 Hard👏. It's not intramurals and it's not high school.
@D3FBHuddle @CountyPolk @KjWilliams__ @d3football @NCAADIII Yeah, not the offer they are acting like it is … A lot of D3 guys quit and end up at a local college. I’d love to see the retention rates for D3.

Welcome to D-III broadcasting! Our guys have done this from many venues across D-III. Favorite was at RPI. #d3fb.
If this game was at B-W, everyone would have proper space in the press box. Instead, we are currently set to broadcast from the model dorm in an administration building on the other side of the field. This is straight up disrespectful, but the show must go on.

John Carroll SID Chris Wenzler was one of the greats, great person to work with, never gave us a hassle about any requests, no matter how odd. He lost his two-year battle with cancer this afternoon, sad to say. Rest in peace, @BigDaddyWenz.

Nic Rummel with the TD catch for North Central and the Cardinals go up 42-14 with 6:49 left. Rummel started the season at corner but moved to receiver after the position lost guys to injury. Should be the last snap for the No. 1 offense. #d3fb

Sources: Committee made decision to give Mount Union home game in national semifinals over North Central "based on the numbers." When pointed out that committee ignored rule it wrote after 2010 season explicitly for this situation, there was acknowledgement, no explanation. #d3fb.
