Road to 20K 👀
I played in what is now known as the WIAC and can assure you that players on each team were at a minimum all-conference in high school, many all region, and some all-state. Essentially, they might be a couple inches shorter and/or 10 to 20lbs lighter than their D1 counterparts. Some were late bloomers, some underrecruited, and some were just not quick, fast, or strong enough to play D1.
I enjoyed my time playing D3 football at Lagrange 12 years ago. I didn’t get to play varsity but the workouts, life lessons, and friends I made are what I enjoyed most.
Elite insight . Stout is elite
D3 sports def do not get enough respect!
100% ! Hope you doing good g
So basically I play de my whole life and so now I am in college now freshman (20 year old ) 182 lbs and 6’3 want to play wide receiver. I started getting experience from a trainer who knows about it I been going there for 3 weeks and I was wanted to walk to a d3 school . Do you think is to late?
D-1,2,3,N.A.I.A.,J.U.C.O. the players play as hard as they can,work as hard, max effort, desire is the same.Highs of winning the same,lows of defeat the same. No matter what level,game matters the same amount.I played and coached on the J.U.C.O, N.A.I.A, and D-2 and D-3 level.lacrosse and basketball. level never mattered. Money spent, time demanded, are the major difference.I have been to many D-3 football games in Jersey at Rowan U. Enjoyed them lots.Been to Cortland Ithaca game, huge game 10,000 plus fans. Intense,yet not hostile. NOTHING bad about D-3 Football at all. Nothing !
thanks for liking.And D-3 is a lot easier on the bank account.

consider transitioning into club rugby after college football. Most large cities have at least one rugby team that's full of other adults looking for a contact sport outlet. All of your work ethic will transfer perfectly. You just need to learn a different set of rules.
That’s the thing ppl don’t talk about is how any level of colleges have the same exact intensity of workouts, D1 players just get all the recognition and get payed for doing Ts
My son was a D3 football player, and I teach at a D2 college. The thing I could see is that everyone on the D3 teams were there because they wanted to be there. No one hanging on just to keep their scholarships. The enthusiasm at the D3 level is the most fun part. They love the game. Go find the video of my son’s team after winning the conference championship.
Teammate from hs was on a D3. Didn’t play a meaningful snap in hs.
Being a fan 2 div 3 schools
Centenary college of Louisiana and East Texas Baptist University.
I've had alot of people come at me with alot of dumb hot takes. Especially the first one you mentioned.
Great break down of the facts and thank you for helping to shed light on the subject.
WIAC is a meat grinder conference…. There are so many teams that are just - flat out good.
Met my best friends forever and brothers playing d3 baseball. 20 years later we all still brothers.
Stout is so underrated, i have a friend that plays football there. D3 sports deserve so much more respect
100%
Yo the guy making the tackle at 2:25, correct me if I’m wrong but is that Mason Priebe? I currently coach with him at Neenah High School. He’s an absolute dawg. I managed at UW Oshkosh in 2021 and 2022 before getting the high school job and you’re 100% correct that the D3 guys do it for the love of the game and I respect the hell out of D3 players for it.
D3 has more variability in talent, but some people chose D3 because they value academic-sport balance more.
No it’s because they aren’t good. Please stop lying to yourself.
@@LifeOfScenario Other commenters talked about the high school playing records of D3 players: all-region (sometimes good enough for D2, maybe FCS if in Georgia, Texas or Florida) and all-state (normally gets at least FCS offers, depending on the state), and some players were underrecruited, too small or too light, but had the football IQ.
D3 football is extended high school ball and they PAY to play

@@juu7556 the season has started already , you’ve missed spring ball and training camp already …it’s too late for this year
D2 and D3 are no joke and don't get enough credit for how good their athletes are its sad.
Would you say line size differences is one of the significant factors that separates FCS/FBS from D3?
That is definitely a yes. UW-Whitewater which is one of the better D3 teams has a lot of DE's for example that weigh 225 - 255 pounds. The guys that would play DT's for them weigh between 260 - 290 pounds which would be the size of a DE and the D1 level. They would get smoked if they played up to the D1 level.
Is there still no d2’s baseball teams in Wisconsin? All d3 Wisconsin schools I played (baseball) and yours was one of the 10 or so were loaded with talent and very good. We have a bunch of division 2’s in Michigan. I also heard there’s only 1 division 1 in Wisconsin for baseball. This was early w000’s btw. A CB from my d3 college was drafted in 5th round of nfl draft. A pitcher in my league was drafted 5th rd of mlb draft. If you have talent you can make it
UW-Whitewater, UW-LaCrosse, and UW-Platteville are essentially D2 schools depending on the sport. If 1 or multiple teams left to become D2 schools, the whole conference would probably collapse, and realignment would need to occur. There is only one D1 school in Wisconsin that has football, so if a kid doesn't receive a scholarship from there they go and play in the Dakota's, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, or at the D3 level.
@@erics607 The whole conference can go D2 if everyone had the money for D2...
Yo Richie, i live near uw stout, and one guy from my school recently decommitted thier and commited to uw wisconsin. I think that was a mistake. I personelly love to watch college football and i love all levels
If it was only about football, sure it could be an error, but perhaps that guy had an academic reason for wanting to attend UW-Madison; it may be that the guy could want to study in a major not offered at UW-Stout.
@@A350Airways no, he js wanted to say he played football for uw, mistake
The D3 guys that get drafted, they usually end up at the D3 level for a couple of reason's. Football may have not been their sole focus in high school, and thus they haven't reached their potential yet, and D1 colleges don't scout smaller high school players as much when they aren't playing up to the potential of a low caliber D1 athlete. Another reason for a player like Ryan Ramczyk initially, was he didn't want to be far away from home, and he didn't want to live the D1 lifestyle coming out of high school. The stress and expectations generally aren't as high at the D3 level compared to the D1 level. I know a few guys that play D1 and how the prepare throughout the year is almost like a job. I also see a lot of D3 players (UW-Whitewater), and the whole atmosphere of how they prepare feels more laid back than at the D1 level. I feel like the guys that get drafted from the D3 level don't truly realize their potential until their 3rd year at the college level.
Your conference is the best,and 4 schools have stadiums with 10,000 and over capacity. Huge facility' I have been to Cortland games,they are 6500 their #1 rival,the best in D-3 and D-2. Itaca seats 5500. When they play each other,13,000 plus are there. They have played in Yankee Stadium,22,606.There was a rumor two yearts aho in the media covering small college sports that the W.I.A.C. was going to move to D-2,was that holding any truth?
If they do move to D2, then most of the conference is going to struggle heavily. UW-Whitewater has played D2 schools over the course of the past 10 years and have beaten them or come close to beating them, but IMO only 2-3 of the WIAC teams can hold up to D2 schools right now.
@@erics607 U.W.W. played Northern Sun teams right?
Lot of d3 skill players got talent but it’s too expensive. If you got the money or if it was cheaper it would be worth it imo.
Caleb jersey fire 🤣
Caleb 4 MVP. 🤫
Just potentially got a chance to go play fcs d1 at utah tech but umbh the d3 is still lookin like a better option, but my goal is the nfl is there a way to transfer out of a d3 via transfer portal?
Absolutely. There are a lot of examples of D3 studs transferring out to D1 schools and having success
That 13 jersey is 🔥
Caleb 4 MVP
D III is about as high a Beer league Football player could ever reach !! 😂
My Grandson played for CASTLETON STATE .
Wartburg is the best in the ARC

D3 isn't bad, it isnt as mainstream as D1
👏👏
Aye yes sir
Hello
What’s good!
🥓
How smug and condescending. So D3 gives a kid not able to play at a higher level a chance to compete and play. News flash: HS football is not as good as college ball. D3 isn't as good as D1. D1 FCS isn't as good as the SEC. Go pound sand.

D2 is the worst I don’t know a single D2 school
