I think that every team in the NEFC could field some type of a JV team, but even if it started off with just 5 or 6 teams it would help the development of the league over all.  It already looks like a few teams are making an effort.  Just like with anything it will be a slow start but then will develop.

Week 8 Picks

FItchburg over MMA
BSC over Westfield - Westfield is down this year
MIT over Salve - could be a good game, but MIT is the better team this year
UMD over Nichols - This could be a good one an is a crucial game for both teams to stay in the top 2 in the Boyd
EC over WNEC - EC got the wake-up call last week and can't afford tp lose any more this year.  They better not take WNEC too lightly.
MME over Framingham - All this talk about JV teams, maybe Framingham would win if they played some of the JV teams.
Curry over PSU - Curry continues their winning ways
CGA over Worcester - Look for CGA and Curry in the NEFC Championship

JV programs cost money $$$ and some of the d3 schools in the NEFC are limited when it comes to the budget....

Another week, another set of picks

Bridgewater State over Westfield....poor Westfield
Salve over MIT.....this one is tough, both teams are bad, but I look for salve to get things moving
UMD over Nichols....if UMD gets up early this could get ugly
Fitchburg over Mass Maritime....not the blowout everyone expects but a win is a win
EC over WNEC....this will be interesting. WNEC always plays EC close when at WNEC. EC coming off of a tough loss needs to get their act together
Maine Maritime over Framingham....will Framingham ever have a winning record? or even 3 wins?
Curry over Plymouth State.....not even tough for Curry
Coast Guard over Worcester State.....every weekend two things are a definite, Framingham will lose, and Coast Guard will win

one note on the JV teams, if you look, the teams that have been fairly consistent the last 5+ years (4 for EC) all have JV teams. Even though this is the first year EC has a jv team this could be the push they need to get them over the hump

Adding a jv team does cost a program money, plus you need the numbers to fill a team.  Not to mention something called title 9 (Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics).   For example, if you were to add another male team, ie. jv football, then the school must come up with more money to add another womens team or sport to balance it.  This puts most small NEFC colleges in a bind, therefore thats why we dont see many jv teams around the league.

I'm not sure about roster sizes in the NEFC, but most NY teams around going to have about 100 players so you need a JV team to keep kids from quitting due to lack of playing time.

If NEFC rosters are kept low to conform to title IX, then thats a whole other problem all together, they might want to add a womens sport so they can field a bigger football team.

There isn't a whole lot of money in the JV program budget, usually, just a couple day trips and referees. And you're not adding student-athletes, because those guys are already on the roster.

Title IX is a specious argument here at best.

Your correct about title 9.  You are not adding an extra team, you are just using players already on the roster.  Again my main point is that if the NEFC wants to increase it's level of play and be competetive in the NCAA tourny they will have to develop their younger players.  The JV program is a way to do this.  It can be kept cheap and also be effective.

Pimpingold, Curry has already beat EC.  CGA does still have to play BSC, but I think they can handle them

Coast Guard beat Bridgewater State last week.

Pat, My bad on the forgetting that CGA beat BSC in a great game last week.  Thanks for the correction.  That is why we need someone like you running this site.

I believe that Pimpingold was trying to point out that the prediction was indeed made only after Curry and CGA beat the above mentioned teams

I agree that establishing JV Teams will certainly help the NEFC move into a position to finally win a playoff game.  However, this may also be another wedge to separate the serious football schools from the not so serious football schools in the NEFC, just like the schools that have full time coaches.  Obviously schools with fulltime coaches, JV programs, and good facilities are going to widen the gaps between themselves and the remaining teams.  How long will schools such as BSC, EC, CGA. and Curry continue to remain in the NEFC and play mediocre teams.
