It appears to someone who simply enjoys the vitality and honest effort of non-scholarship athletes, that the NCAA/ESPN System - whatever that might be - has overextended it's absolute arrogance in endeavoring to control how the process works.  I have always heard and read how difficult the various conferences are and many have stated how tough the conferences UWW and Mt. Union are in.  The other teams are good, but strength of schedule over the past five years indicates something also.  I cannot imagine another Division having a defending national champion or runner-up with such records and not having home field.

It will interesting to watch, but sadly obviously manipulated.  With all due respect to the other schools, I hope to once again see an all purple Stagg Bowl, just so Mt Union and UWW can celebrate their fine accomplishments this season and the past five years.
