INDIANAPOLIS — The Division III Football Committee announced Sunday the field of 32 teams for the 2012 Division III Football Championship. The committee selected teams based on conference results and competition within an school’s respective evaluation region.
Twenty-four conferences received automatic-qualifying berths. One berth was reserved for independents and those teams that are members of conferences that do not receive automatic qualification. The remaining seven berths were awarded to teams from either automatic-qualifying conferences that did not win an automatic berth, or remaining independent teams and teams in non-automatic qualifying conferences.
The first round of the championship will be played Nov. 17 at the host school’s campus or at an alternate site approved by the football committee.
The Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, the DIII national championship game, will be played Friday, Dec. 14, at Salem Stadium in Salem, Va. The game will be broadcast live on ESNPU HD at 7 p.m. ET.
