FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Fordham University fields a 100-player football roster competing at the Division I FCS level within the Atlantic 10 Conference, representing the Bronx institution established in 1841 with a current enrollment of 16,153 students. Coach Joe Conlin leads the program from the program's home venue, where the Rams contest their fall season schedule against fellow Atlantic 10 opponents. As a member of the conference, Fordham competes among regional peers in the lower tier of NCAA Division I football, maintaining scholarship athletics while upholding the academic mission of the Jesuit university in New York City.
The Rams operate within the constraints typical of Patriot League-affiliated and Atlantic 10 Conference programs, balancing competitive football with the rigorous academic environment characteristic of Fordham's student-athlete experience. With 100 roster spots distributed across the fall season, the program recruits and develops players for Atlantic 10 Conference competition, which includes regional schools competing at the FCS classification level throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
