I get it, but really sad news nonetheless. Playing ball was a big part of my college experience.

Aren't they all New England schools?

That's what I took at first glance, though Hamilton maybe not? The others I know each state they're in.

Yup, Hamilton is in Central NY. The rest are CT, MA, VT and Maine

It is too bad -

not a NESCAC guy myself but we have lots of friends and kids of friends who went to the NESCAC schools and played sports there.

Hopefully just the fall season but we'll see.
