History of the Rams

The Fordham Rams have a long and storied history in NCAA sports. From the early days of college football to their current status as one of the top teams in Division I, they’ve always been competitive on the field.

Fordham began competing in intercollegiate athletics in 1882 when it joined what was then known as The Intercollegiate Football Association (IFA). Since then, they’ve won numerous championships at home and away, including two National Championships (1941 & 1942) under legendary coach Jimmy Crowley. They also won six conference titles during this period, with three coming from The Metropolitan Intercollegiate Conference (MIC), which later became part of today's Patriot League.

In addition to their success on the gridiron, Fordham has also seen great success over its basketball program throughout its existence earning multiple trips to post-season play, including two appearances each for both men's and women's teams since 2010 alone! Their most recent achievements include an appearance by their men’s team in last season’s Atlantic 10 tournament championship game, where they ultimately lost out after a hard-fought battle against VCU but still managed some national recognition for being such strong contenders all year long!

Aside from these accomplishments, though, perhaps one of Fordham University Athletics' most significant claims is that it has produced some incredible athletes over time who have gone on to achieve greatness at various levels; such names include NFL Hall Of Famer Vince Lombardi who played quarterback there before moving onto coaching fame with Green Bay Packers or NBA All-Star Bob Lanier who starred for them while he attended the school too! These are just a few examples that prove how talented this institution is when it comes down to producing quality talent across different sports disciplines - something we can be proud of here at Sports Fan HQ!!
