Re: Merrimack Out

good move for them...and they will be competitive in that league. Look for New Haven and others to jump on board too.

NE-10 is DII...NEC is FCS, so a step up

Will they honor the contract to play Bloom next year? Bloom looking better this year, after beating a soon to be D1 team.

Interesting move. The football team hasn't made the playoffs since 2006.

As a frame of reference, some of the schools in the NEC include St. Francis (PA), Robert Morris, Central Connecticut State, and Wagner.

They shouldn't have made it that year. They had three losses to IUP's 2.

I'm still bitter!

Just because it might be FCS doesn't mean it's a step up.
