UMass sports teams are expected to join the Mid-American Conference.
ESPN reports that the school will play in the MAC during the 2025-26 academic year.
This means most of the Minutemen clubs, including basketball will move from the Atlantic 10 Conference, as will the football team, which currently plays as an independent.
The addition of UMass will give the MAC 13 teams.
The reason for the move is due to the school's choice to not bring all of its sports teams to the A-10.
