The America East Conference
By Matt Shetler

The America East Conference was founded in 1979, consisting of nine members in Northeastern, United States. The conference participates in twenty-one men’s and women’s Division I sports. The America’s East headquarters are located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and its commissioner is Patrick Nero.
  
From its inception, it was know as the ECAC North until 1988. After that, it became the North Atlantic Conference, a name it would keep until 1996. Four of its charter members are still in the conference: Boston University, the University of Maine, the University of New Hampshire and the University of Vermont.
  
The University of Hartford joined in 1985 and three schools were added in 2001: the University at Albany, Binghamton University and Stony Brook University. The final member was added in 2003, the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
  
Several schools have been members of the conference at one time or another, including: Rhode Island, Holy Cross, Canisius, Niagara, Siena, Colgate, Central Connecticut State, Delaware, Drexel, Hofstra and Towson.
  
Perhaps the America East Conference best moment on a national stage occurred in 2005, when the Vermont Catamounts upset the Syracuse Orangemen in the NCAA Tournament.
