FB: Northwest Conference

[badgerwarhawk]

D3FOOTBALL.COM has us around 9700 but I think that's a little low.  I think our actual enrollment, taking all students into account, is just over 12,000. 

Tuition is free.    Seriously, tuition for a Wisconsin resident (not including housing and a meal plan) is about $3800 a semester.  Adding housing and a mid-range meal plan increases it to about $6800.  Most financial aide awarded is based on income.

Let the nonsense begin.   

Now what is that compared to Linfield? #11 should know....

Let the banter begin

I don't care about enrollment, admissions numbers, etc.  UWW is darn good.  Linfield is darn good.  Let's play football.

[AO]

I don't get why some people refuse to play someone else who might have an inherent advantage.  Winning isn't everything.  For those schools like Whitewater or St. Thomas; be proud of your advantages, many people worked hard to earn them.

Mr. & MRS.   COCO,

Thank you so much for the wonderful cookies,   I shared them with the staff at film grading .. they were a BIG HIT,  looks like it will be a very late night ..  Those Warhawks look pretty darn good and in purple TOO.. 

Go CATS
GO BIG D

She said if she'd known that she would have given you more, and you are most welcome. She likes seeing you in the playoffs.

GO CATS!

Way to dial it up in the second half boys,  Big D broke out a new bag of salt (Salty D) and started bringing pressure,  that was the difference. Most impressed with #55 Hoff (DE) he really brought great backside pressure and killed the dive.  But then again I'm a bit partial to big DEnds that do that stuff !!

Props to the Tigers, they gave us all that we could handle. tough bunch.

Phone it in baby. NEXT !!!

Hey, NWC's posters!  Hope you are well. 
   
GHC,  I seem to recall, you and, I making a pact some time ago, that the next time the Hawks and the Cats met, depending on where it was played, we would travel to each others neighborhood to hang out for the game.  Now maybe that was, specific to last years play-offs, but since this play-off game is at the Perk, I have no qualms about trying to hold you to it!     Any chance you are coming with 11? 

And WC11, we will be tailgating with a heater and fire pit so you need to find us and we will make you the best Bloody Mary, or loaded Hot chocolate, depending on your preference.  I know you always have things to do but, heck, you are entitled to a little fun, too, along the way, aren't you?   

And so we meet again, footballfan413! I really think it is your turn to come back to Oregon this year, but our boys will be headed your way. We would love to see The Perk and watch these two teams go at it in person, but will be watching on the computer, which isn't a bad deal.

Hope that boy of yours is doing well!

My boys, your boys, out back, this Sat !!!

Please let's not have this conversation again. There is no reason for UWW or any other state school, large school, small school, cheap school, rich school, or idiot school from being a D3 participant. D3 rules govern certain things, none of which is a "type of qualifying school" in these aspects. For all intents and purposes, UWW is not the largest school in D3, and maybe not the cheapest, although defining that, especially for athletics, is a tricky business.

You may think UWW has an advantage, and in some ways UWW may have an advantage, but it is not any kind of advantage that is prohibited by D3. On the other side of the coin I think Johns Hopkins has an advantage because who would say no to them with a decent aid package? But that is also not prohibited provided the aid is not based on athletics and the athletics department does not provide outsized aid to athletes.

In other words, UWW is a D3 school, the WIAC has been a D3 conference since at least the early 80s (maybe longer, but that's the first mention I quickly found). There is no reason UWW should leave D3 unless they choose to. Anyone suggesting otherwise either doesn't understand the rules governing D3 or simply refuses to accept what has been in place for roughly 40 years.

+K Very well stated.

I'm investing into some wool for this weekend.

Cost is the only advantage IMO. In the NWC every school will make academic exceptions (not really a big deal), but ask any NWC coach the #1 reason he can't get a kid...financial aid packet. That's not to say that no d3 team can ever compete with the WIAC because we know they can. But I do think it is a big reason that the WIAC is so deep from top to bottom. I probably had 5-10 kids in my high school graduating class that could have been very very good d3 players but didn't because they couldn't afford it (or thought they couldn't) and went to WSU or UW or Eastern, never playing football again. If all of those kids still had the financial means to play in the northwest, even UPS could be competitive IMO.

It's all about the benjamins. Even with your typical $12-16k yearly academic scholarship that most small, private, liberal arts schools offer, it doesn't come close to $10-12k TOTAL cost for a school year at a public school.

Like I said in the WIAC board though, a winning program can overcome even the financial hurdles in d3 football.


How about this week? First team to 14, wins?
