Does the NCAA treat DII and DIII schools with equity?

I had many questions for football coaches across the Texas Non-FBS landscape during my preparation for the 2023 Dave Campbell’s Texas Football summer magazine, but one question always brought an interesting response before the answer.

In a hypothetical scenario, I asked most coaches to answer with one thing they would change with how the NCAA operates. The vast majority of responses started along the lines of, “Not like it matters,” or “Not like they’d listen to us,” or this from one Division III coach, “We're kind of an afterthought, to be honest.”
