I don't have a lot of answers for you on that. Briefly looked at it a couple of weeks ago and the transfer portal is not set up or required for kids intending to transfer to D3, as far as I could tell, but not sure that means anything.

From the NCAA site:

How does the NCAA transfer portal work? Is it available for the public to view?

Division I student-athletes who wish to transfer must inform their current school in writing. The school then has two business days to enter the student's name into the transfer portal, which allows other schools to confirm that the student can be recruited.

If the student-athlete withdraws his or her name from the database or the school lets the NCAA know that the student has enrolled elsewhere, the student's record is updated in the portal. The transfer portal is reset at the end of each academic year.

The transfer portal is accessible only by administrators and coaches on NCAA member school campuses. The portal is available to all three divisions, though each division has different rules on transfer policies and portal use.


So I'm guessing d3 coaches can see which d1 athletes are looking to transfer and can "recruit" them (contact them) if they are in this portal.  Unless there are different rules for d3 transfer policies and/or portal use.

Also noticed this.  It appears that d3 coaches had "read only" access to the d1/d2 portals but if this proposal passes, d3 athletes can enter themselves in a new d3 portal.  Not sure what the status of that vote was.

Still seems more important that d3 coaches have access to d1 transfer portals which it appears they do (meaning they can recruit once those names appear in the portal).

Ice Bear says the score is closer than the game will be. A young Aggies team gets a taste of the next level. It will help for years to come...just not this year.

IB would love to see the Gulls run all ****ing over the Mules...but he just doesn't see it happening to that stingy Mules D that may prove to be damn close to that elite tier this season. Ice feels the Gulls are just not as close to that tier as the Mules are.

Ice Bear says unfortunately he sees sees the East getting monkey stomped and shut out this weekend.  Ice says it's been a great year in the east but this will be as far as our beloved region goes.

:o :o :o :o, I respect your honesty.

I think the monkeys will stay in their cages this weekend, but I do see Delaware Valley losing by 2 TDs and The Mules and Seagulls having an exciting game with the Mules winning by a TD, 52-45. The Mules are better than the Union D, but I don't see the Seagulls  denied multiple trips to the end zone. The only other comment I have is when does a team from Allentown, PA end up in the South region? ......I know the answer, but hey, lots of teams in the East are south of Allentown. I am rooting for Coach Milne to take the Mules all the way ....but if they faulter, I am happy to root on the Seagulls as a true champ from the East. If I am wrong on the close game forecast and the monkeys are out stomping, hats off to IB.

I mean how can you go against the team that goes to Mt. Union and wins?  On the other hand, that is probably the biggest game those guys have every won in their lives.  Let down games are ripe after situations like this.

I haven't watched the Mules much to be honest.  I'm guessing they can figure out a way to stop Salisbury and put some points on.  But I don't care how good the Mules defense was to this point in the season, defending the Triple Option is a different beast.

I'm actually interested in the St. Johns/Wheaton game.  I love how St. Johns goes from 5 wide to 22 personnel whenever they want.  I'm guessing Wheaton isn't going to gamble with cover 1/0 like Chapman did last week.

As for UWW and MHB.  MHB's TOP numbers are pathetic.  UWW wins this one 31:38 to 28:22

I'm still looking to see who Mount Union is playing this week.  Very strange not to see them in the quarterfinals.

Teams beating Mt. Union on the road in the playoffs have never won the next week in the past 25 years.  Except this year when NCC beat Del Val.  Is Del Val that bad that NCC could overcome the odds and all of the math and science that was stacked against them?  Is NCC that good?  I would drop Del Val out of the poll after that loss if we go by math alone....

Oh Jonny, math REALLY escaped your clutches (I'll go with an English major, maybe political science ;) )

The man who picked NCC to beat DelVal 52 - 10.......................should not let math even enter his head, let alone touch his lips!! ;)

Man, I sure don't want to be sucked down this rabbit hole, and don't want to disparage the DelVal team, but....I really don't think the DelVal-NCC game was that close.  DV in first half went punt, punt, punt, punt, INT, punt.  Second half they opened with a nice drive and scored a TD.  NCC then drove down to the 15 and threw an INT.  Then DV had an 85 yard pass complete for TD.  That's it, end of scoring.  So subtract out the NCC INT (as they were driving for another TD), and the subsequent 85 yd play, the score could have easily been 38-7.  Again, DelVal had a great year, but NCC beating them 31-14  then NCC beating Muhlenberg 45-14 seem pretty comparable.

Flip it around, though, and go drive by drive for North Central in the first half, right? North Central didn't have the success against Del Val as it did against Mount Union or Muhlenberg.

True, but not bad: punt, TD, TD, P, Downs, FG.  17 points in first half of a playoff game, I bet NCC staff would take that.  Certainly not the offense they put up against MU or Muhl

I heard audio from the Muhlenberg post game and it sounded like some of the players mentioned that DelVal was one of the best defenses that they played this year (along with Wheaton).

NCC's head coach and their QB actually said that DelVal was the best (toughest) defense they played all year. I look at the stats (math) of what their All-Everything QB and RB did against DelVal and compare it to what they did against Mount Union and Muhlenberg. Muhlenberg gave up almost as much yardage in the first half than they did for the entire game against DelVal. Kamienski looked solid against DelVal. He looked like a future NFL WR against Muhlenberg. Greenfield looked like an All-American against Muhlenberg. He needed 28 carries to gain 95 yards against DelVal.

I'll take what the head coach and Rutter said vs. my own eyes and anybody else's on a chat board................no offense. ;)

DelVal had the #2 ranked total defense in the country and the #7 ranked scoring defense.  How and why is this news?

...............at home, after putting up 59 points at Mount Union, against a team playing their third consecutive road playoff game. I'm pretty sure that the coaching staff (and offensive players) were thinking about a hell of a lot more than 17 (and something closer to what they did on the road vs. Muhlenberg in the national semi's)................as were many of the pundits on the LL board who 'predicted' the final NCC score in the 50's and 60's. ;) If not for a fumble at the NCC 10, DelVal was driving yet again to make it a 24 - 21 game.

Teams beating Mt.

Oh Jonny, math REALLY escaped your clutches (I'll go with an English major, maybe political science ;) )

I can count to ten in Spanish. :) Nice try on the response..................but falls way short. That "I would have picked DelVal to win" (on the road against a team that just put up 59 at Mount Union) is cute. Actually adorable. I look at the four predictions from the LL board (and Mach's "they will get destroyed", without a score) along with the D3 panel of experts...............and nobody applied your faulty logic and called for a DelVal victory. In fact, just about everybody called for a NCC very high score blowout. "Easily 38-7". THAT is cute, when they were also a fumble at the NCC 10 yard line away from "easily 24-21". Stick with the Spanish................and the political science. I took German. What a waste of time (but Swarthmore ran out of math classes) ;)

Spot on Pat...................especially when one looks at the drive charts, for how NCC did, ON THE ROAD, against Mount Union and Muhlenberg (the team that gave up 8 points in their first three playoff games).

Everybody made DC David (who coached briefly at DelVal by the way) to be the second coming. Did he and the staff not watch the NCC-DelVal tape?? Against Muhlenberg, Kamienski was Julian Edelman. Greenfield was Christian McCaffery and Rutter was Ty Detmer (looking at the build, arms and throwing style.........the kids here might have to look him up). ;)

Market opens in 30 minutes (no European nor pre-market activity for me today)................time to cash in again. Oh, looking to cover 1/2 to 3/4 in the short TVIX position from December 3 (from 76.375.........now in the low 51's). Like taking candy from a baby. Decay and contango take money from the accounts of leveraged longs and give them to the leveraged shorts. Too easy. :)

Ice Bear will make his picks even though he is not consistent picker...nose picker yes, game/score picker not so much.

NCC 52
Del Val 10


Ice Bear says the score is closer than the game will be. A young Aggies team gets a taste of the next level. It will help for years to come...just not this year.

Salisbury 17
Mules 48


IB would love to see the Gulls run all ****ing over the Mules...but he just doesn't see it happening to that stingy Mules D that may prove to be damn close to that elite tier this season. Ice feels the Gulls are just not as close to that tier as the Mules are.

Ice Bear says unfortunately he sees sees the East getting monkey stomped and shut out this weekend.  Ice says it's been a great year in the east but this will be as far as our beloved region goes.

:o :o :o :o, I respect your honesty.

I think the monkeys will stay in their cages this weekend, but I do see Delaware Valley losing by 2 TDs and The Mules and Seagulls having an exciting game with the Mules winning by a TD, 52-45. The Mules are better than the Union D, but I don't see the Seagulls  denied multiple trips to the end zone. The only other comment I have is when does a team from Allentown, PA end up in the South region? ......I know the answer, but hey, lots of teams in the East are south of Allentown. I am rooting for Coach Milne to take the Mules all the way ....but if they faulter, I am happy to root on the Seagulls as a true champ from the East. If I am wrong on the close game forecast and the monkeys are out stomping, hats off to IB.

I mean how can you go against the team that goes to Mt. Union and wins?  On the other hand, that is probably the biggest game those guys have every won in their lives.  Let down games are ripe after situations like this.

I haven't watched the Mules much to be honest.  I'm guessing they can figure out a way to stop Salisbury and put some points on.  But I don't care how good the Mules defense was to this point in the season, defending the Triple Option is a different beast.

I'm actually interested in the St. Johns/Wheaton game.  I love how St. Johns goes from 5 wide to 22 personnel whenever they want.  I'm guessing Wheaton isn't going to gamble with cover 1/0 like Chapman did last week.

As for UWW and MHB.  MHB's TOP numbers are pathetic.  UWW wins this one 31:38 to 28:22

I'm still looking to see who Mount Union is playing this week.  Very strange not to see them in the quarterfinals.

Teams beating Mt. Union on the road in the playoffs have never won the next week in the past 25 years.  Except this year when NCC beat Del Val.  Is Del Val that bad that NCC could overcome the odds and all of the math and science that was stacked against them?  Is NCC that good?  I would drop Del Val out of the poll after that loss if we go by math alone....

Oh Jonny, math REALLY escaped your clutches (I'll go with an English major, maybe political science ;) )

The man who picked NCC to beat DelVal 52 - 10.......................should not let math even enter his head, let alone touch his lips!! ;)

Cozy you got me.  Political science/Spanish major.  I admit I screwed up and didn't check the Mt. Union history with teams beating them in the playoffs.  If I did I would have predicted a Del Val win.  I did not know Del Val was that bad though..... I'll remember this for next year....

I can count to ten in Spanish. :) Nice try on the response..................but falls way short. That "I would have picked DelVal to win" (on the road against a team that just put up 59 at Mount Union) is cute. Actually adorable. I look at the four predictions from the LL board (and Mach's "they will get destroyed", without a score) along with the D3 panel of experts...............and nobody applied your faulty logic and called for a DelVal victory. In fact, just about everybody called for a NCC very high score blowout. "Easily 38-7". THAT is cute, when they were also a fumble at the NCC 10 yard line away from "easily 24-21". Stick with the Spanish................and the political science. I took German. What a waste of time (but Swarthmore ran out of math classes) ;)

If your so good at Math, give us your NFL picks for this week and predict all the scores.  I'll bet $1000 a game and if I'll give you $100 bucks for the picks.  And since your so good at math, you would have no problem giving me whatever I lose if your picks don't pan out.   If $100 isn't enough, I'll go 10K a game and give you $1,000.  Money Line bets I'll even give you back 5%.

And the Del Val game was still two fluky plays from being 42-7.  That wouldn't have been too far off.  So I'm not sorry for my prediction, especially seeing NCC just won the biggest game of their life the week before.  I should have factored that in (as many gamblers need to do at any level).
