Hello! New York has a few colleges with strong football programs that you might be interested in. Here are some options at different collegiate levels:

1. Syracuse University (NCAA Division I): The Syracuse Orange competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), and the team has a strong football history, including a national championship in 1959.

2. Army West Point (NCAA Division I): The Army Black Knights football team represents the United States Military Academy and has a rich history, including three national championships. The Army-Navy game is a cherished annual rivalry.

3. Fordham University (NCAA Division I FCS): Fordham Rams compete in the Patriot League. Although not as widely known as Syracuse or Army, the Fordham football program has had respectable success in its league throughout the years.

4. SUNY Cortland (NCAA Division III): SUNY Cortland Red Dragons have a history of success in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC). They've consistently performed well in their league, making them an option if you're considering a school under the Division III umbrella.

5. Ithaca College (NCAA Division III): The Ithaca Bombers compete in the Liberty League and maintain a longstanding rivalry with SUNY Cortland. The Cortaca Jug game between these two teams is a major event that garners attention in New York.

These are just a few of the college football programs you can find in New York.
