The Albany University football team plays in the Northeast Conference for the NCAA Division I-AA as an football only affiliate.
Great Danes head coach, Bob Ford, has been with the team since the team was reinstated after 46 years of absence, in 1970 when the football program was a club and 3 years later it was upgraded to varsity status.
The team has had a good performance over the past few years and recently in the 2007 season the Great Danes won the conference championship with a
6-0 record and became the fifth team in NEC history to go undefeated in conference play. |
