They are building a stadium which is supposed to make them a D2 school. This is supposed to be the first year on the D2 level.

Ky Wes dropped out of the NAIA this season, they announced that ALL programs will now play NCAA DII ball.

 

I would respectfully disagree that NAIA is more like DIII than DII. DIII offers no athletic scholies, NAIA offers close the the DII limit. I'd say that NAIA and DII are comparable with DII a slight bit better.

This depends on what you consider a "scholarship" versus "field scolarships/performance scholarships". While the NAIA teams do offer financial assistance in the form of performance scholarships, they do not offer full ride scholarships. There is the difference. Some of the schools with more resources tend to find the ways to add a little grant here and there to help make up the difference between what the school and athletic program offers and what the student pays. I have coached some of the kids currently playing at KWC and the money that the incoming recruits are being offered is different than what they were offered as top recruits. The transition will be have an impact an those players that are able to maintain their "performance scholarshps" and remain a member of the team. I also have a son playing at another NAIA school now. He received what was considered the most they could offer as a "performance scholarship" and it was about 1/2 of full tuition. Of course there were a couple grants (not loans) and other scholarships here and there to greatly reduce the out of pocket. I can see arguments both ways but I will say that as a DII player I played against some DII and DIII. Seemed like NAIA leaned a little more to DIII in competition at the time as well.

Who are the 3 Todd Central kids?
