THE RFC MYC: Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA)-(NCAA Division II)

Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA)-(NCAA Division II)

Overview: The Bowie State University Bulldogs (10-3 overall in 2018) defeated the Fayetteville State University Broncos (6-3) in convincing fashion, 30-10, to claim the CIAA championship last fall. In the NCAA Division II playoffs, the Bulldogs held off a late challenge from West Alabama to win 41-35 in the first round before being crushed at eventual national champion Valdosta State 66-16 in the second round. 

With the 2019 season looming for the CIAA, expect Bowie State to the team to beat this fall. But with just eight starters coming back on offense, and only five on defense, just returning to the CIAA title game, let alone the playoffs, just might prove to be a serious challenge for the Bulldogs. Also, don't be surprised if Fayetteville State and Virginia Union (8-2 in 2018) among others, find themselves in the championship conversation throughout the year.
