List of NCAA Division I conference changes in the 2010s
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 2010s, many college or university athletic programs have changed membership from one National Collegiate Athletic Association athletic conference to another.
- Note
- Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools that made conference moves affecting only spring sports were unable to complete their first seasons in the new league, or in some cases to even play said seasons.
- 1 2 3 4 This school is a Division II member, but has long competed in Division I wrestling.
- ↑ Delaware Valley is a Division III member. Fencing has a single NCAA championship open to members of all three divisions.
- 1 2 3 4 The New England Women's Hockey Alliance, formed in 2017 as a scheduling alliance between the then-current Division I and Division II women's ice hockey independents, was officially recognized as an NCAA conference effective with the 2019–20 season.[18]
- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 After the 2018–19 school year, Long Island University merged the athletic programs of its two campuses—Division I LIU Brooklyn and Division II LIU Post—into a single Division I program under the LIU name. All varsity sports previously sponsored by either campus continued to be sponsored by the new LIU program, which inherited LIU Brooklyn's Division I and Northeast Conference memberships. The new nickname of Sharks was announced on May 15, 2019.[21][22]
- 1 2 3 4 5 At the time LIU announced its athletic merger, this sport was sponsored by LIU Post but not LIU Brooklyn.[21]
- ↑ LIU Brooklyn announced that it would add women's ice hockey shortly before the LIU athletic merger was announced.[23]
- ↑ When LIU Brooklyn announced that it would add women's hockey, it announced that it would join the New England Women's Hockey Alliance, which was a scheduling agreement between all of the then-current Division I and Division II independents in the sport. The NEWHA officially organized as a conference in 2018,[24] and received official NCAA recognition for 2019–20 and beyond.[18]
- ↑ At the time UC San Diego moved women's water polo to the Big West, it was a Division II member. Women's water polo has a single NCAA championship open to all NCAA member schools.
- ↑ USCSA is a collegiate sports federation separate from the NCAA.
2018–2019
- ↑ At the time Hampton's Big South move was announced, it was not certain whether Hampton football would immediately move to the Big South; the conference stated that Hampton would start Big South football play "no later than 2019."[54]
- ↑ Although an independent, Holy Cross was part of the New England Women's Hockey Alliance, then a scheduling agreement among several independent Division I and Division II ice hockey teams.
2017–2018
- ↑ The NCAA considers swimming and diving to be a single sport. Following the 2011–12 school year, Clemson almost completely eliminated its program in that sport, dropping the entire sport for men and also dropping women's swimming. Only women's diving was retained.[16]
- ↑ Valparaiso does not include divers in its men's swimming & diving program.
2016–2017
- ↑ Although LIU Brooklyn initially announced that it would start varsity field hockey in 2015, the team did not actually debut until 2016.
2015–2016
2014–2015

- ↑ Georgia Regents, now known as Augusta, was and still is an NCAA Division II member, but competes in Division I men's and women's golf.
2013–2014

- Note
- On February 28, 2013, it was reported that the seven Catholic schools that had announced plans to leave the Big East Conference (collectively called the "Catholic 7") would do so in July 2013, two years ahead of the original schedule, and would keep the "Big East" name.[262] On April 3, the football-sponsoring conference that retained the charter of the original Big East announced that it would be called the American Athletic Conference (AAC or The American).[263] Accordingly, the following convention is being used in the 2013–14 table:
- Big East (1979–2013) — The conference as it existed before July 2013.
- Big East (2013) — The new conference formed by the "Catholic 7" schools.
- 1 2 CAA Football has been administered by the multi-sports Coastal Athletic Association (then the Colonial Athletic Association) since 2007, but is a separate entity.
- ↑ Charlotte initially joined Conference USA as a full but non-football member. The football team, which started play in 2013, joined in 2015.
- ↑ Dallas Baptist is an NCAA Division II member, but competes in Division I baseball.
- ↑ While Notre Dame became a full ACC member, its football team has remained an FBS independent to this day. The ACC and Notre Dame have an extensive cross-scheduling arrangement in football.
- ↑ Old Dominion initially joined Conference USA as a full but non-football member. The football team, relaunched in 2013 after a decades-long absence, joined in 2014.
- ↑ The 2013–14 school year was the first in which the University of Connecticut officially used "UConn" as its primary athletic brand.
