NCAA Division II has officially approved a new age-based eligibility model that will take effect for the 2026–27 academic year, marking one of the most significant changes to Division II eligibility rules in decades.

The 2026 NCAA D2 football season is just 22 short days away. As the season ramps up, the Lone Star Conference is ready to hit the ground running with the conclusion of LSC Football Media Day on Jul. 23.

The event included the revealing of the preseason coaches’ poll and exclusive interviews with players and coaches.

It's fall camp season as teams across Division 2 open regular practice ahead of the 2026 campaign. NCAA changed its preseason practice rules in recent years, allowing D2 programs to begin fall camp based on either their season opener or the start of the academic year, whichever comes first.

While there is nothing new about preseason polls, there is always a sense of freshness when they begin rolling out over the summer. Broadly, D2 football fans learn a lot from them. They learn how coaches view the other teams in their conference. Whether there is any subterfuge involved is another question. But they learn which players they should probably keep an eye on.

Turning around a program isn't like the movies. Taking a D2 football team that's languishing in the basement, securing a budget, convincing transfers, scouting prospects, and then putting it all together on the field is near magical.
