New England Small College Athletic Conference Data Classification NCAA Division III Established 1971 Members 11 Sports fielded 27 (13 men's, 14 women's) Region New England States 5 - Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont Headquarters Hadley, Massachusetts Commissioner Andrea Savage Locations The New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) is a Division III athletic conference, consisting of eleven liberal arts colleges and universities located in New England and New York. Most of the schools have competed against one another since the 19th century and are often referred to as the "Little Ivies". The idea for such an athletic conference originated with an agreement among Amherst College, Bowdoin College, Wesleyan University and Williams College and was drafted in 1955.[1] In 1971 Bates College, Colby College, Hamilton College, Middlebury College, Trinity College, Tufts University, and Union College joined on and NESCAC was officially formed. Today's sustaining members include all the original members but Union, which withdrew in 1977 and was replaced by Connecticut College in 1982.

The Conference was created out of a concern for the direction of intercollegiate athletic programs and remains committed to keeping a proper perspective on the role of sport in higher education. Member institutions believe athletic teams should be representative of school's entire student bodies and hew to NCAA Division III admissions and financial policies prohibiting athletic scholarships while awarding financial aid solely on the basis of need.[2] Due to the prestigious reputations of its member schools, the NESCAC is able to attract many of the most athletically and intellectually gifted student-athletes in the country. NESCAC members stress that intercollegiate athletic programs should operate in harmony with the educational mission of each institution. Schools are committed to maintaining common boundaries to keep athletics strong yet in proportion to their overall academic mission. Presidents of each NESCAC institution control intercollegiate athletic policy. Conference tenets are usually more restrictive than those of the NCAA Division III regarding season length, number of contests and post-season competition.

NCAA Division III competition Prior to 1993 NESCAC generally did not allow its member schools to send teams to NCAA championships. Since then, all sports except football have had this freedom and have excelled in the NCAA Division III championships. Examples include the Division III NACDA Director's Cup, awarded since 1996 to the college or university that wins the most college championships being awarded to Williams College every year except 1998. In 2009 four of the NACDA Director's Cup top ten institutions were from the NESCAC: Williams (1), Amherst (2), Middlebury (4), and Tufts (6). In addition to the ban on post-season play, the football league is notable for being isolated from the rest of Division III play with each team in the NESCAC playing other teams in the NESCAC only. While some Division II and Division III teams play only conference schedules, the NESCAC is unique in that all of its members choose to play only conference games.[3] Middlebury leads the conference in total number of National Championship teams, having won 32 titles since the NESCAC lifted its ban on NCAA play. Williams is second with 23 NCAA championships, and Tufts is a close third with 21.[4] Tufts also holds the distinction of playing the first game of college football between two American colleges, a contest between Tufts and Harvard University on June 4, 1875 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and played its second game in 1875 against Bates in the first intercollegiate football game in Maine.

S. Department of Education publishes statistics on athletic spending by colleges [1]. In 2004-05, athletic spending by NESCAC schools was as follows: School Athletic Spending Div III rank Amount per Student Div III rank Amherst $3,004,696 #16 $1,832 #7 Bates $3,150,992 #14 $1,808 #8 Bowdoin $3,710,200 #7 $2,212 #4 Colby $2,181,256 #44 $1,198 #38 Connecticut $1,610,230 #105 $847 #91 Hamilton $1,855,184 #65 $1,035 #60 Middlebury $4,028,115 #4 $1,709 #11 Trinity $2,893,037 #19 $1,210 #36 Tufts $2,397,536 #31 $489 #164 Wesleyan $3,079,274 #15 $1,140 #47 Williams $5,697,753 #2 $2,779 #1 In Division III, Williams College athletic spending is second only to Christopher Newport University, which spends 2% more than Williams but has more than twice as many students. Connecticut College athletic spending is low because it does not have a football team. Tufts per-student athletic spending is also low because it has nearly double the undergraduate population (5,000) of its nearest NESCAC rival (Wesleyan, with 2,700). Related athletic conferences Amherst, Wesleyan, and Williams are also the members of the Little Three conference. Bates, Bowdoin, and Colby are also the members of the CBB conference. Hamilton is also a member of the Liberty League, but will join NESCAC as a full member beginning with the 2011-2012 academic year. Alumni Baseball Minnesota Twins general manager Bill Smith graduated from Hamilton in 1980. Jed Hoyer, the Executive Vice President/General Manager of the San Diego Padres, graduated from Wesleyan. Football Bill Belichick, head coach of 3 Super Bowl winning New England Patriots teams, and Eric Mangini, current head coach of the Cleveland Browns, former defensive coordinator for the Patriots and former head coach of the New York Jets, both hail from Wesleyan. Professional football player Ethan Brooks graduated from Williams in 1996. He was an offensive tackle for a number of teams until his retirement in 2005, and achieved his greatest success as a starter for the Baltimore Ravens. Eric DeCosta, the Director of Player Personnel for the Baltimore Ravens, attended Colby, where he was the captain of the football team during his senior year and later received a M.A. from Trinity, where he coached football from 1993 to 1995. He was recently named one of the most powerful people in sports under the age of 35 by The Sporting News. Steven Hauschka, a placekicker with the Atlanta Falcons, graduated from Middlebury in 2007. Hockey Professional hockey player Guy Hebert graduated from Hamilton in 1989. During his NHL career he tended goal for the St. Louis Blues, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and New York Rangers. In addition to his NHL career, Hebert also was selected to the 1998 Olympic hockey team that represented the United States in Nagano, Japan.
