As originally noted in Podcast 352, the conference shuffle continues to hit the former Great Lakes region. In the fall of 2025, Hiram will return to the Presidents' Athletic Conference after more than 35 years away.
When Crawfordsville and Greencastle, Indiana, wound up beneath a total eclipse, it was a great time to talk with the coaches in one of D-III football’s top rivalries. We talk with Bell-holding Brett Dietz of DePauw, both of Wabash's head coaches, plus hear about how coaches will be able to use in-game video this fall and we also take your questions in the latest podcast.
In the spring of 2006, Birmingham-Southern started its journey from Division I to Division III in hopes of saving the institution. Although athletics found success at the D-III level, the institution was not able to hold on, and will close at the end of the semester.

And yet, as piece after piece fell into place during the Red Dragons’ run to an improbable but wholly earned Stagg Bowl 50 victory, certain things could not possibly make more sense. Keith McMillan tries to make sense of it for all of us.
It turns out that dragons are real, and that Cortland's Red Dragons were indeed for real this season. Greg Thomas explores the harmonic convergence that led Cortland to the 2023 Division III football national title.
A low scoring first half turned into an offensive explosion as both offenses heated up in the halftime locker room. Cortland celebrated their first national championship with a 38-37 win over North Central.
