New England’s other pro football dynasty is taking a break. Molly Goodwin – owner of the Boston Renegades in the Women’s Football Alliance – informed NEFJ on Wednesday night that the team was suspending operations for the 2025 season.

It’s basically the 2025 season already. Ok, so that’s obviously a little much, but a few teams have unveiled their spring football game dates and BC’s full schedule is now out as well. We will continue to update this as we get closer to the start of spring practices for all 16 D1 teams in the region. The Ivies will of course be a little bit further behind, but we’re…

After a strong initial introduction into Division 1 FCS football, Stonehill had a rough go of it in 2024. The Skyhawks went 1-10 and finished last in the NEC.

The Jordan Stevens rebuild has entered the ‘we’re almost there’ phase. Maine came up with some major upsets a year ago and won five games en route to a 5-7 campaign that legitimately put the Black Bears back on the map when it comes to competing in the CAA.

After winning nine games for the first time since 2007 and just the third time in program history, UConn has buzz like it hasn’t had since those early 2000’s.

With the awkward scheduling…
