East Coast Conference

Current Division-II Conference

The East Coast Conference is the offspring of several single-sport college conferences which existed in the New York City Metropolitan Area in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. It is a direct descendant of the Big Apple Basketball Conference, which was a Men's Division II conference. In 1988, the athletic directors of C.W. Post and Queens invited the athletic directors of all Division II institutions in the New York Metropolitan Area to discuss forming one multi-sport conference. After several meetings the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference was formed. The conference changed to its current name in 2006.
