You're probably referring to D-III teams playing non-scholarship FCS teams (aka Ivy League). This was a NAIA school playing a fully-scholarshiped FCS team. I was just reading the Sioux Falls paper online this morning, and the Sioux Falls coach said he got about 5 dozen text messages from other coaches in the NAIA and lower NCAA divisions thanking him for knocking off North Dakota and telling people that NAIA doesn't mean "No Actual Intercollegiate Athletes".
