We are going to the playoffs in 2026!

Thank you to everyone who signed the petition, shared our work, or supported us in any other way. Additionally, thank you to the NESCAC presidents for hearing out our request for change. This marks an incredible day for equity across athletics.

While we would have loved for this change to impact the upcoming senior class, we are excited to have the opportunity to help football in the NESCAC move forward and compete on a national stage.

We did this together - this is just the beginning. Here's to a future of NESCAC dominance in the NCAA playoffs.

NESCAC Football Players Association

The NESCAC Presidents will vote today on whether they will allow football to go to the playoffs! Hoping for an outcome that puts the student-athletes' experience first. Let us play!!

Hello fellow NESCAC lovers,

There is currently a coalition of athletes who are pushing for the NESCAC to allow teams to go to the playoffs, and we need your help. We have created a Twitter page and posted a petition to change the league's rules to allow the NESCA C to finally be given our fair shot. If anyone has any connections at NESCAC schools, including but not limited to SAAC representatives, administration, etc please DM this Twitter account and let us know so we can all watch an NESCAC team in the playoffs next year!
