Editing Mid-American Conference (section)

==Sports==
The Mid-American Conference sponsors championship competition in 9 men's and 13 women's NCAA sanctioned sports, with women's lacrosse becoming the newest sport in 2020–21.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://getsomemaction.com |title=MAC > Home |publisher=getsomemaction.com |access-date=February 8, 2020}}</ref> As of the 2024–25 school year, 16 schools are associate members for four sports.

As the MAC is an FBS conference, its full members are subject to the NCAA requirement that FBS members field teams in at least 16 NCAA-recognized sports. However, as of 2017, the MAC itself required sponsorship of only four sports: football, men's and women's basketball, and women's volleyball.<ref name="UB drops four sports">{{cite press release|url=http://www.ubbulls.com/general/2016-17/releases/20170403cae0jo |title=UB Reduces its Intercollegiate Sports Teams from 20 to 16 |publisher=Buffalo Bulls |date=April 3, 2017 |access-date=April 6, 2017}}</ref> This may have since changed, as UMass was accepted as a new conference member effective in 2025 despite not sponsoring women's volleyball.
