For Pool A team sports, Houghton helps the E8 with baseball, basketball and soccer for the men, and VB, soccer, hoops, field hockey and softball for the women.

IMHO, the E8 needs Houghton as much as Houghton needs D3.

Sunday play may be the issue for the E8.  Houghton does not play on Sunday.

I am sorry for the imprecision of the post.  The E8 is not a Pool A baseball conference.  Houghton does help to keep the sport as an official conference championship.

So much for the NESCAC.

If you go back to the other thread you will see that I reported that Houghton was talking to 2 conferences.  The NESCAC and the E8.

Doesn't mean the NESCAC was talking back. I remember the discussion and I give you more credence than someone less connected to the area, but still, the NESCAC and Houghton were never going to be a pair.

No but there were certain faculty and administration members who if they go NCAA want the NESCAC and nothing else and the a couple of coaches are in that group.  Some have NESCAC ties.  The soccer program is the driving force in all of this and they think the E8 is the best competition for them, also for basketball and T&F X-country.

Even professors and academics can be delusional, though!

NESCAC: Hello?
HOUGHTON: Hey, we'd like to join!
NESCAC: Who is this?
HOUGHTON: Houghton! We'd like to join?
NESCAC: Houghton? Um....
HOUGHTON: Yes, we'd love to join! We'd be perfect for you. Just give us a chance.
NESCAC: I think the pot roast is burning...call back!

In this scenario, how are the NESCAC schools not at least vegetarian, if not vegan?

Well, I thought of that, but then I thought the NESCAC would make any excuse to get off of the phone!

I did not think that the hired help in the NESCAC kitchen would be answering the phone!

Will they still keep their long rivalry games with Mifflin?

Since Houghton-Mifflin primarily publishes textbooks, I'm guessing you must be a teacher.
