I don't know if this has been posted before, forgive me if it has.

ESPNU frequently asks college players questions regarding sports in a column called Campus Call. Recently, the question was "What makes Division I athletics different from the lower divisions?" I didn't know what to expect from the athletes, but was plesently suprised. From Tyler Tidwell, of Navy -



"As far as football goes, I think the upper-tier Division I-AA teams are comparable to many of the 'mid-major' teams in Division I-A. I speak from experience, as I have played one each season and every game has been very competitive. However, I don't think that the upper-tier I-AA teams are too comparable to the Oklahomas and Floridas out there."

A very fair assessment by a future leader.

Sounds like a reasonable assessment to me. Nothing degrading but still puts things in perspective.

Decent answer - but what everyone is overlooking is that the question was what was the difference between D-I and lower divisions - we are D-I!!

Yeah, we should have beat Navy last year. We lost by one point. We had a touchdown called back on a BS holding call.

That's an accurate assessment. UMass was very competitive with Army and navy.

We would not be with USC and Ohio State.
