Last year at this time there was a lot of discussion about the future of the Division III All-Star experience.

The Aztec Bowl had gone away. And even that, to be honest, wasn't a full All-Star Game. It's one team of D-III players, playing in a location that wasn't accessible to Division III fans, conflicting with the Division III playoffs.

That left talented players (you know, the ones on the best two teams) unable to participate.

Other games have cropped up. There's a replacement in Mexico, one in Salem and one so far removed from those ideas that it's only on the drawing board.

Where do we go from here? Keith McMillan explores the All-Star possibilities in this week's Around the Nation column.
