Kickoff is back for a 13th consecutive year, and will be published on Aug. 22. We are working on big feature stories regarding teams that have unfinished business from 2016, ones looking to take the next step and others who are trying to take the first step. 

Kickoff will have those features and much more, with original reporting, not just some statistical rehash. We talk to all 249 Division III schools for the freshest information and preview and rank every team. 

And we really need your help, not just in ordering Kickoff now, but to support D3football.com overall. This is the only coverage we charge for across all of D3sports.com, and it's crucial in keeping D3football.com operating with the high level of Division III coverage you've come to rely on.
