ABOUT THE ECAC
The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) is the nation's
largest athletic conference and only multi-divisional conference,
with approximately 300 Division I, II and III colleges and
universities from Maine to North Carolina and westerly to Illinois.
Established in 1938 with 58 charter members, the ECAC has since
emerged as the nationwide leader in service. The Asa S. Bushnell
Center, named after inaugural commissioner Asa S. Bushnell, serves
as the main office for the ECAC. It is located in Centerville,
Massachusetts on Cape Cod.
After Asa S. Bushnell molded the organization from its formation
to his retirement in 1970, George Schiebler took over as
commissioner from 1970-1972. Robert M. "Scotty" Whitelaw
(1972-1989) guided the ECAC through one of the most significant
events in its history, as the Eastern Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (EAIAW) was consolidated into
the ECAC in 1983. With the addition of women's sports, the ECAC
doubled its number of championships and greatly increased its
membership. Clayton Chapman (1989-1998), Phil Buttafuoco
(1998-2006), and Steve Bamford (2006-2007) have also carried the
title of commissioner through the last 19 years. Current
commissioner Rudy Keeling assumed chief administrator duties on May
1, 2007. As Commissioner, Keeling has revealed a new
Strategic Plan for the ECAC emphasizing membership services,
conference office operations, academic and athletic excellence and
equity as well as inclusion and diversity.
