Here is how I'm picking the conference
Warning! Spoiler Alert!

1. Aurora
2. Concordia Wisconsin
3. Lakeland
4. Benedictine
5. Maranatha
6. Wisconsin Lutheran
7. Rockford
8. Concordia Chicago

So let it be written. So let it be done

The NAC coaches poll has been released. AU is picked first and received all of the 1st place votes. CW was #2 and Lakeland was #3 followed by BU, WLU, CC, Rockford, and MBBC.

4 weeks until the season kicks off my friends!!! I can't wait

Ok. Thanks Pat and wildcat11 That definitely makes sense.

Thats awesome!Congrats to your dad and entire family on that accomplishment.

I'm confused. What is the rule about naming recruits/commits? I had heard that you couldn't release a list of names because there are no actual letters of intent or official signing days. Recently though, I've seen schools naming their recruitson d3football.com

Thats a bummer:( Hopefully by next year things will have turned around financially for the NAC schools and other conferences who are facing the same problem.

Does the NAC have a date set for their official media day?

Sweet. You guys definitely know your stuff. Owen Schmitt has an awesome story. Good Stuff.

All I'm going to say my friends is watch out for Maranatha over the next few years. As we all know, the Crusaders numbers were down big time this last year. The will likely have twice as many players on the roster which is good news for all of us. Its always nice to see a d3 team hang in there when others are dropping the sport entirely.

MBBC only lost two players from last years young squad. I think with a solid class the Crusaders could be middle of the pack this year in the NAC. I'm not getting crazy and predicting an upset of AU or CUW this fall. I think the gold and blue faithfuls would be happy with a "middle of the pack" season.

...for now:)

Does anyone know of an athlete who transferred from a division III school to a division I school that found success?
