The Pioneers of Carroll University in Waukesha — Wisconsin's oldest college — who returned to the CCIW in 2016 after 24 years away and grind in one of Division III's deepest conferences.
Carroll is the oldest college in Wisconsin with football dating to 1896, and the rest of the CCIW treats the Pioneers like newcomers who don't belong.
