D2 offers scholarships, so naturally they should get better players. But the mindset and coaching of Mount gives them a chance.

Why would I want to go to Ashland or Findley and struggle to make the playoffs when I can go to mount union and play for a national title every year and be on espn. It was actually a really easy choice for me and obviously others as well.

thedynasty1998;1342417 wrote:What kind of offer? The thing is D2's can package grants and academic resources with athletic. So to answer your question, it comes down to money.

Sonofanump;1342466 wrote:Wow. I personally don't see them making the playoffs. I'd take Ashland, ODU, and any of Michigan schools for sure over them. I'd take Findlay also. I'd take Mount over any of the other D2 schools in Ohio.

Sonofanump;1342739 wrote:So you equate a guy or two a year to the NFL to beating quality D2 programs? If Ashland who lost in the first round this year played Mount who hopefully wins the title this year, I'd take Ashland and give 24 points.

Crimson streak;1342743 wrote:In a jv game my freshman year Ashland was playing second teamers against a bunch of freshman and we still beat them. I'm telling you the difference between mount union and d-2 schools is not a big difference. Hell coach kehres after that wanted to try and schedule a varsity game vs Ashland but they declined.

I'm with sunofanump I think mount would be lucky to make the playoffs if they were D2.

Sonofanump;1342772 wrote:I have never know Ashland to play anyone on scholly in JV games unless for a specific reason (switching positions).

Sonofanump;1343140 wrote:Mount would be the only D3 that could beat Tiffin. No way the second best (Witt) or third best (Hberg) would beat them. Those two schools might make a game with Walsh & Malone.
