Football
Schedule Format
Currently the 16-member NSIC plays an 11-game conference schedule, leaving schools with no non-conference games to play. Every team plays the other seven teams in its own division every year and then plays four games against teams from the opposite division with those opposite division teams rotating on and off the schedule every two years for home-and-home purposes.

Famous quotes containing the word football:
“Idon’t enjoy getting knocked about on a football field for other people’s amusement. I enjoy it if I’m being paid a lot for it.”
—David Storey (b. 1933)
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
