Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

Wesley has played a lot of non DIII schools over the years. NNA athough a member of the ACFC is not a recognised DIII school. Wesley has played D1A Butler and a few NAII schools. To fill their schedule they have bussed (17 hrs)to Wisconsin and Indianapolis, played in Florida. One year they played teams from 7 different states. This year I understand they will be on the road 7 times. Teams just won't play them.. It's tough when you have to pick up 7 non conference games with the other conferences only having one or two open dates they tend to stay with close rivalries.

7 games-- That poor AD is going nuts trying to get those games filled. No wonder they have to schedule DIV II and 1A ( sorry champinship div.).

Are they looking for other schools to join the conference?? Oo are they looking to leave the conference???

[Teamski]

Wow, that is crazy......  You can almost see the writing on the wall for the ACFC if they can't attract additional members.  I didn't realize that NNA isn't DIII!

It looks like a nicely balanced schedule between home and away games.  The SJ Fisher game should be a really good one!  I hope to see Wesley's schedule before long.

I know I will be there for the Wesley/Salisbury game for sure!
