Mike and Seth join for the D3 discourse as we DIVE in to the 5-year eligibility idea that has been passed at the D1 level and talk about the positive and negative effects that could stem from it's implementation at the lower levels of NCAA football. We also touch on some BIG time transfers for contender D3 teams and close out with some fun D3 tweets.
