The buzz for Kickoff is always great and fans spread the word well, but we figure it's best if you get a free taste of what Kickoff is all about here at D3football.com.

With Kickoff, you get a capsule preview of all 238 teams, including our exclusive ranking of every Division III football school from top to bottom. This information never appears elsewhere on the site and is solely available to registered Kickoff readers.

To see what all the fuss is about, we've taken a 2009 feature story and a team capsule out from behind the password wall for you to read and decide for yourselves. Check out our 2009 Empire 8 feature, on Alfred's hopes for a breakthrough. Or, read our St. Thomas team capsule.

You, too, can be this well informed about the 2010 season. Because there are 238 team capsules and two dozen features in Kickoff 2010, waiting for you to devour after our Aug. 24 release.

Kickoff is an online-only publication scheduled for release on Aug. 24. Kickoff is $10 and is available to registered and paid users online. (Users who register with .edu e-mail addresses get a 40% discount, to $6.)
