THE RFC MYC: Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC)-(NCAA Division III)

Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC)-(NCAA Division III)


Overview: The Gallaudet University Bison held off seven other squads to win the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) championship in 2022 after finishing conference action at 5-1 to end the regular season. Gallaudet's season ended at 7-3 overall with a 59-0 loss at Delaware Valley in the first round of the NCAA Division III playoffs.

The ECFC saw a slight reduction in its membership during the offseason, as the fledging Keystone College Giants from La Plume, Pennsylvania will join the new Landmark Conference, while SUNY-Maritime will make the move to the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) as this post was published. These aforementioned moves will reduce the conference's membership from seven to five schools by the start of the 2023 season.

The loss of Keystone and SUNY-Maritime means that just four conference games will be played between the remaining five teams during the second half of the season. Not only that, the ECFC will lose at least one more member when Castleton University from Castleton, Vermont will leave for the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) in time for the 2024 season.

In the meantime, however, expect all five teams to mount a serious challenge for the championship in a "watered-down" ECFC.
