depending on the D3 conference you are in...when I was in the NAC in Allen when it was a beast (and actually longer - it lasted
about 20 seasons near as I can tell now) we averaged $73,000 ($6,083 each) in postseason cash including a couple over $100k - (I guess from peeking through the reserve a team function that they are still doing ok - I haven't had an Allen team in many seasons, and the dedicated conference forum thread has been inactive for some time...)
ETA: When I was at Maine, Presque Isle I too scouted the entire country - using that postseason cash. Then I recruited with my scholarship budget...I had players from all over the place. I left for a bit, then returned to the conference and wound up at Salem St and did the same thing, going to the title game in my 4th season with the strategy. Without mega conference cash being more selective about which states and when to scout are obviously key factors, but if you can do it, the rewards are there as tianyi says.
