The Metropolitan Collegiate Conference (MCC) was a college athletic conference that existed from 1965 until 1969.[1][2] The participating schools were exclusively from New York and New Jersey. The 10 founding members of the conference in 1965 were: Manhattan, Long Island University, New York University, Hofstra, Fairleigh Dickinson, Saint Peter's, Seton Hall, Iona, Wagner and St. Francis.[2]
For the 1967–68 season NYU left the conference to become an independent, and for the 1968–69 season St. Francis followed. By 1969 the conference was defunct.
