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!

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.

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!

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.)

St. Thomas gets the approval is needs from the NCAA and will move directly from D-III to D-I. That includes the Summit League, the Pioneer League for football and WCHA for women's hockey. (Men's hockey still TBA.)

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!
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.
After the final gun, Wheaton coach Jesse Scott hands off the Little Brass Bell. Andrew Kamienski takes off running and the celebration is on for

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,

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.

According to ESPN listings, which is often how we first learn the semifinal schedule, it's Wartburg at Mount Union this Saturday at noon ET and UMHB at North Central at 3:30 ET/2:30 CT.

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.

The final play wasn't without excitement! A plethora of laterals before Petrucelli eventually throws it forward and that is how the 2018 season ends. Mary Hardin-Baylor are your 2018 National Champions!
