Why The Patriot League?

In the Patriot League, our student-athletes are both students and athletes, while competing at the highest level of intercollegiate competition, NCAA Division I -- against the top programs in the country. The Patriot League graduates its students at rates higher than any conference in the country and has done so for most of the past decade. Our champions advance into NCAA tournaments in 15 sports, including basketball. Do the Right Thing, affiliate your organization with the Patriot League and with the best NCAA Division I athletics has to offer -- The Way it was meant to be done.
