Men's soccer / Little East Conference
August 30, 2013, 05:48:19 PM
I think the Little East Conference deserves its own thread in 2013.  Last year posts were made in the New England soccer thread

Looked up 6 NCAA D-III New England Colleges with respect to thier NACDA, ( National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics), Director's Cup rankings.

These rankings are a reflection of the overall success of a College or Universities' athletic programs.

The ranking incluse a wide range of sports, from golf/tennis/water polo/skiing to football/basketball/baseball/hockey.

Obviously if your school plays all these sports and does well, ( as some of the NESCAC schools do), you have an advantage in terms of point totals

Go to nacda.com and click on Director's Cup to look up your school.  Rankings include D-I through D-III, and the for years 95/6 through 2009/10

Here are average ranking for 6 NE schools, ( 95/6 to 2008/9 or 14 years), and their highest and lowest rankings over this time span.  ( I noticed a couple of years they only listed the top 100, but the rest they listed the top 300 or so. If school was not ranked a given year I gave them a 300 ranking for that year in calculating their average rank.
