The great George Steinbrenner, longtime owner of the New York Yankees, once said, "Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next." In the fiercely competitive NESCAC, those words are ones to live by -- unless, of course, you go to Hamilton or Conn. College.
Established in 1971, the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) has cemented itself as one of the most competitive blend of athletics and academics in the country (in Div. III, that is). Home to the likes of Williams College, Steinbrenner's alma mater and a school that has won 10 straight Div. III Directors' Cup championships, our conference sets the standard for Div. III athletic competition.
But if you really want to get a feel for what the NESCAC is all about, look no further than its assortment of accomplished alumni. Whether you want to win the presidency, win the Super Bowl or just win "The Bachelor," the NESCAC is the place for you.
And as a brand new school year commences this fall, 11 schools will once again battle and jostle among one another in their pursuit of athletic triumph. Here now for your perusal are a few tidbits and factoids to help guide you through the dense jungle that is the NESCAC; click each point on our interactive map below to learn about a different NESCAC school.
