D1 Reject's Small School Saturday Is Coming To FloCollege0:30

FloCollege is partnering with D1 Rejects to bring Small School Saturday broadcasts to fans throughout the 2026 college football season.

Small School Saturday brings the energy and excitement of a national college football pregame show directly to small-school campuses across the country. Each stop will highlight a featured matchup while introducing fans to the players, coaches, traditions and communities that make small-school football unique.

The partnership pairs two platforms built around expanding coverage of programs and athletes outside the traditional national spotlight. Since launching in 2020, D1 Rejects has produced content covering Division II, Division III and NAIA football. Its mission goes beyond generating attention, focusing on meaningful storytelling through conversations with the people who live the sport every day. As the D1 Rejects team puts it, the platform is “a show for the players, by the players.” 


Small School Saturday Streaming On FloCollege

Small School Saturday will give those stories an even larger stage on FloCollege. From the atmosphere surrounding the stadium to the personalities that shape each program, the broadcasts will allow fans nationwide to experience game day at some of the most passionate college football communities in the country.

The first announced stop will take D1 Rejects to Alumni Coliseum in Butte, Montana, ahead of Ottawa University Arizona’s matchup with Montana Tech on Thursday, Aug. 27. The Small School Saturday broadcast begins at 5 p.m. ET live on FloCollege.

Two days later, the crew will travel to Golden, Colorado, for Western Oregon against Colorado School of Mines. That broadcast will originate from Alumni Field at Marv Kay Stadium and begin at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 29.

D1 Rejects brings firsthand small-school football experience to every broadcast. Founder and host Kobe Manzo launched the show from his dorm room while playing running back at Northern Michigan. He is joined by a crew of former college athletes and coaches, including co-host and Creative Content Director Seth Howard, a former quarterback at Simpson College and UW–River Falls.

The team also includes Jimmy, a former Northern Michigan and Wisconsin-Stout player who now works as a school counselor and football coach; Matt, a former Dakota Wesleyan fullback who has covered NAIA football since 2021; Tim O’Shea, a former UConn and Southern Connecticut State tight end and Division II analyst; and Drew Carp, a former Northwood and Michigan Tech defensive back.

Together, FloCollege and D1 Rejects will bring fans closer to the programs, people and traditions that make every level of college football worth celebrating. Small School Saturday begins Aug. 27, with additional stops to be announced throughout the fall.
