News Releases

November 21, 2023 Aurora lighting things up on defense The Spartans needed a pick-me-up from the defensive side of the ball on Saturday and got it, as the defense allowed no points and had seven takeaways against Coe. And Don Beebe, the former NFL wide receiver-turned D-III head coach, couldn't be happier. Brian Lester has more in a Road to Salem feature.
October 4, 2023 Spartans and Cougars team up for Hilinski's Hope In recognition of Student Athlete Mental Health Week, the Aurora University and Concordia University Chicago football programs are proud to be teaming up with Hilinski’s Hope to raise awareness and break the stigma around mental health. The Spartans and Cougars are slated for a Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference contest on Saturday, October 7 with a 1:00 p.m. kickoff in River Forest, Illinois.
May 2, 2023 Irabor, Toth, Sinclair get camp invites Division III football players were shut out of the NFL draft once again, but Chris Toth, who has been watched by scouts for at least two seasons, got a minicamp invite from the Bears, Ike Irabor got a call from the Giants, and Travis Sinclair heard from the Vikings. And they're not alone.
December 24, 2022 Today, we are all Mount Union Mount Union is no longer alone at the top. They’re peering through the glass at the champions like everyone else. But as Keith McMillan and Greg Thomas write, perhaps the Division III landscape is forever different, and the next North Central could come from various places.
November 22, 2022 At Aurora, Beebe-ing is believing The Spartans have woven the hustle, determination, and never-say-die traits of their coach, former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Don Beebe, into their DNA, so perhaps it should be no surprise that their third consecutive playoff trip resulted in a first-round win. Joe Sager has more.
July 18, 2022 Another new bowl comes to Wisconsin The midwest is getting a second Division III football bowl game, following on the success of the Culver's Isthmus Bowl in 2021.
