NCFA FEATURED TEAM OF THE WEEK

OAKLAND UNIVERSITY

NCFA | Great Lakes Conference

Mascot:  Golden Grizzlies

Location:  Rochester, Michigan

 

Write-up:  The Oakland University Football Club has been a member of the NCFA since 2013, and since then has won 5 Great Lakes Conference Titles, made 4 NCFA National Championship appearances (2014, 2016, 2018, 2019), and have won 2 NCFA National Championships (2014, 2016).

 

Interesting/Fun facts: Many believe that contact sports, including football, were banned on Oakland University’s campus by the university’s founder, Matilda Dodge Wilson. This was proven to be false after the Oakland University Football Club was founded.  The club’s current faculty advisor (and player at the time) Nic Bongers played the National Anthem on the guitar prior to the 2014 NCFA National Championship game.
