FB: North Coast Athletic Conference

The NCAC is absolutely a meat grinder league right now, even with Wittenberg wandering around aimlessly in the abyss (temporarily, I assume).  There's room for even more depth here. 

Wally, I think Wittenberg's struggles in football reflect the systemic challenges it is facing.  Elsewhere in this thread I noted a comment from the Wabash College BoT that highlights one of the most pressing challenges.

No doubt they are correlated, but I don't think anybody saw an 0-8 coming.  The sky was falling for Wittenberg football after a pair of 7-3 seasons prompted a coaching change after the 2021 season.  There are three teams in the division that score fewer points than Wittenberg.  If you remember when the bottom absolutely fell out from under Allegheny's program from about 2012-2015, this is sort of like that.  Wittenberg has a lot of work to do on the field, but obviously keeping the institution open is a bigger priority.
