35 players, that is what I counted. I may be off by one or two at the most but 35, that is what Oberlin dressed for Wittenberg last night. The problems of recruiting in d3 especially with the academic requirements of a school like Oberlin were no more apparent then last night. Wittenberg has tradition and a long history of winning so it can get the recruits(over 100 I believe dressed). NCAC schools like Oberlin though without that going for them struggle to fill rosters to say the least. One of the reasons I love d3 football and the NCAC in particular is their strong emphasis on academics, something that is sadly lacking at almost all d1 schools(especially aq schools). However it does cause these difficulties and sometimes the gulf between the strong and weak is even more noticeable.
