The Patriot League is a college athletic conference which operates in the northeastern United States. It participates in the NCAA's Division I) for all sports; in football, it participates in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS; still often referred to by its former designation of Division I-AA). There are eight "full" member schools, whose teams participate in all league sports, except football. American does not compete in football, while Army and Navy are Independents in the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Associate members include Fordham (football), Georgetown (football), Villanova (women's lacrosse) and MIT (women's rowing). The league was founded in 1984 as the Colonial League (not to be confused with the Colonial Athletic Association), but competition did not start until 1986. It changed its name in 1990 when it expanded to include other sports besides football.

Yes, this is another a capella version of the fight song from the group, The Chimes. Do note that the change of color in the words are of Jack the bulldog's colors, and it signifies the change from the chorus to the long bridge. The chorus has two versions, one for American football, the other for basketball. Do note that the school is playing in the championship subdivision for American football-they are an associate member of the Patriot League. Hope you enjoy the vid and I will remind you-comment cleanly....
