Triangular Football League

The Triangular Football League was an American college football conference. Its founding members were Dartmouth, Williams College, and Amherst College. The Triangular Football League was formed in 1892,[1] and was a successor organization to the Northeast Intercollegiate League (1891–1892), the Eastern Intercollegiate Football Association (1887–1890), and the Northern Intercollegiate Football Association (1885–1886).[2] MIT had been a member of the previous iterations as late as 1887, and Wesleyan University became a member of the Triangular Football League by at least 1899.[2]
