What it is: As a member of the NCAA Division II ranks, the Northeast 10 Conference traces its origins back 30 years to 1980, when it started as the Northeast 7 Conference. The NE-10 currently has 16 full members in five states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, & Vermont). The league currently has nine football playing members, although football has only been added within the last decade. The NE-10 failed to place a team in the 2009 Division II playoffs, as three teams (Bentley, Merrimack, and Southern Connecticut State) all shared the conference title with identical 6-2 conference records. Also, New Haven (5-5, 4-4) made its presence felt as the school resumed its football program, finishing a respectable .500 a year ago.
