So, what is The DII Report? Glad you asked.

In 2022, I started a free Substack. It was basically all of the parts left over from my research that I did for Turner Sports. My stories at NCAA.com were asked to be very surface level so every fan could understand it. With my own Substack, I was able to dive in more to the players and stats and velocities, and well, go deeper into the nerdom of sports. Instead of focusing on one or two players for an article, I wanted to dive into team reports and weekly roundups and in-person analysis from my trips to the stadium or ballpark.

By 2024 it had gotten pretty big, so I decided to turn to a subscription model. I know in today’s world, extra cash is hard to come by, so I really tried not to charge to much, and I think I give a fair price ($5.99/month or $65/year).

Not knowing whether it would last or not when I went to a paid model, I was blown away by the response. There truly is a passionate audience craving more DII news than is out there, and that is what I try to deliver. So what do you see?

It is mostly DII football and DII baseball. For DII football, you’ll get preseason team reports, player-of-the-year watchlists, and a season preview. New for 2026, once the season starts, all of my Power 10s from NCAA.com will move to The DII Report. For baseball, you get preseason conference previews, and then deep dives from opening pitch to the final out in Cary. I do limited DII men’s and women’s basketball coverage, but those will be in-person analysis and Power 10 rankings.

Not sure if you want to pay? I have a big free following and provide plenty of free content as well. Thanks to DII support, The DII Report became a best selling Substack in less than six months and climbed as high as No. 23 on rising sports Substacks (currently, I am at No. 73 in Aug. 2026).

Come along for the ride. Free or paid, there is room for you all.
