Nice letter. I'm a big fan of D3 and I'm getting more into it every year. I follow Marietta and I've attended the D3 Final Four the past two years in Fort Wayne. Really good quality and a lot of fun.

A real plus for me!

For you Ohio folks, Marietta's conference, the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) is one of the best and competitive in the country. John Carroll featured four D1 transfers, including familiar names Luke Frazier (Dayton/Ohio) and Luka Eller (Miami). Two of those transfers didn't even start. And they weren't even the best team in the conference. Mount Union lost in the D3 Championship game on a bucket at the buzzer. If you ever have the opportunity to make it to a game I highly recommend it. However, If you can't, all games are streamed for free (I have yet to run across a pay site stream) and can be accessed at the link I provided in my prior post.

I still remember my freshman year at Wittenberg when Bull Edwards, the football coach, came through Myers Hall, the freshman men's dorm, asking if anyone had played high school football. He was looking for a few more guys to round out his roster. Might have had more takers if he'd been passing out money!

I think you are underestimating the NIL at the power DIII schools
