FB: Conference of New England

Statisticle man missed out on a key point...POPULATION!  Not doing a ton of research and trusting your post for # of teams in MA, PA, and CA, I am seeing the following:

Population   State   Teams
12,604,767   PA   50
6,593,587   MA   29
39,961,664   CA   91


This yields:
PA - 252,095 people per football school
MA - 227,365 people per football school
CA - 439,139 people per football school

Not that any of these numbers really mean anything at all, but I figured i'd mention the failed logic in your argument.  Not to mention, I don't think much of your comparisons anyway because D1A and D1AA, and even D2 to an extent, pull from MUCH larger areas, and not just locally, like the majority of D3 schools.  These numbers skew in favor of the saturation of MA D3 schools quite a bit.

If the NEFC splits and gets 2 bids, I will start a new Occupy movement. 

Perhaps 'Occupy Endicott'.  Me and charles.

Maybe you and Pat Coleman. I hear Pat is almost a cult hero up there.

Just a note to tell you all  I told you all so!!!

NEFC announces league restructuring for 2013 season

Starting in 2013, Endicott will be one of eight teams competing in the newly restructured NEFC.Rob Palardy, Sports Information Director

FITCHBURG, Mass. - New England Football Conference (NEFC) Commissioner Sue Lauder has announced a restructuring of the Conference that will take place prior to the 2013 season. The NEFC, founded in 1965 by Bridgewater State College, Curry College, and Maine Maritime Academy, will function as an eight team league and will retain the NEFC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament.  The realigned NEFC will consist of Curry College, Endicott College, Maine Maritime Academy, MIT, Nichols College, Salve Regina University, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and Western New England University.

Institutions that are currently members of the multi-sport Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (Bridgewater State University, Fitchburg State University, Framingham State University, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Westfield State University, and Worcester State University) will compete in a newly formed MASCAC football league.  Plymouth State University and UMass Dartmouth, two schools that have a playing relationship with the MASCAC through an affiliation agreement between the MASCAC and the Little East Conference, will also join the new league.

"It's been an honor to have been a member of the NEFC and to work with the quality student athletes, coaches and administrators at all of the NEFC institutions," said Lauder who is also the Director of Athletics at Fitchburg.  "I wish the conference continued success and look forward to maintaining relationships with NEFC members."

The NEFC, with 16 members divided into two divisions, is the largest Division III football conference in the nation.  The Conference's championship game between the winners of the two divisions is also unique among Division III football.

Dating back to 2003, the first season of varsity competition for Endicott, eight of the nine conference champions have been from one of the remaining institutions in the newly restructured NEFC.  Historically, Endicott holds a 31-16 record against Curry, Maine Maritime, MIT, Nichols, Salve Regina and Western New England and a 10-1 mark over the past two seasons.  The Gulls have never faced Coast Guard in their nine-year history.

The Blue and Green earned their first ever NEFC title in 2010 which led to an appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament.  Behind strong leadership and immense skill from their senior class, the Gulls followed up their record-breaking 2010 campaign with an even more impressive season in 2011.  All-time records across offense, defense and special teams resulted in a program-best 11 wins and an Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) North Atlantic Bowl victory over Mount Ida, 31-22.

Looks like the NEFC is getting broken up in the next couple years?  I just saw a press clipping that Plymouth State is joining a new conferance being started up in Mass....Most of the Mass State Colleges are in it.

I posted this response to your post today on Friday, but it didn't post until today.  I knew ahead of time that you wouldn't be impressed so i responded early.  I also knew something would go wrong with my post because I sent it from an Internet Cafe in Thailand.  Boom.

Endicott Gulls have 2 players drafted to the NFL, congrats.

Kevin Eagan, DE, Endicott, Colts
Taylor Allen, TE, Endicott, Jaguars

So the Lew Dogg really showed his evaluation of talent,.
"I watched several amazing D1 games tonight and in none of them did I see anything nearly as ridiculous as Endicott's D tackle that was half naked with his jersey barely covering his shoulder pads. He looked ridiculous and if Mt Ida had more than 6 fans, he would have been a field day for heckling from the sidelines. Do some squats dude."

LewDawg criticized the defensive tackle. The two Endicott players drafted are a Defensive End and a Tight End. Where did LD go wrong? If the player LD busted on had been drafted, you would have a point and you could throw it back in his face. As it is...meh.
