size of the aid package (for football). How many times do we have to go over this. So, of course the d3 package might equal Colgate's.
The make-up of the package depends on the amount of university resources available and the priority placed on attracting this type of student.

I know all about need based aid and how a D-III school can come up with the same amount.

I was making a sarcastic twist at the idea of "matching" an offer. Matching means the D-III school saw what Colgate was giving and said, "sure, we'll do the same thing". That is a WHOLE lot different than coming up with the same aid amount independently. In theory all PL schools should come up with the same need amount for recruits but in practice not a single one will be EXACTLY the same. In fact, there can at times be great variances.

Also, "matching" implies matching the type of aid award. Colgate would offer all grant financial aid based upon football talent. A D-III school cannot give preferential aid based upon athletics. Sure, they have their own aid policies that might give a good student all grant, but to "match" is different. A D-III school would have to claim that the all grant aid was based on something other than football.

Don't believe what you read about D-III not having athletic scholarships. I just learned that my Godson got an offer from a partial one for FB from a northeastern (not NESCAC) D-III, worth about 1/3 of total costs.
