Talk:Division III

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't like the tone that comes across in the last couple sentences, it seems awfully negative. If someone with better writing skills could fix it up I'd appreciate it. Also, expanding the article is of course welcome.

[edit] Stub?

Why/how is this a stub? Isn't this fairly complete? What more is needed? A list of D-3 conferences or schools? Rlquall 02:21, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Age limit?

Is there an age limit for participating athletes? Can an NCAA "Rules, policies, restrictions" section be added?

Such a section belongs in the main NCAA article, not here. And no, there are not any age restrictions per se, only limits in how many years of "eligibility" one has to play collegiate sports. Every year or two, there is a story about some middle-aged guy, usually recently retired from the U.S. military, who is now liviing out his dream by playing college football, typically at a DIII institution, which is perfectly OK if he hasn't used up his eligibility by competing in collegiate sports at some level in the past.

[edit] POV, redundancy

"The level of play is quite good" is strictly unverifiable POV. "Good" compared to what? DI? In which sports? Also, the fact stated in the first para that they do not give athletically-related financial aid is essentially repeated in the second para saying that there are no DIII athletic scholarships. Let's try to get this right. Rlquall 15:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
