Another Division I conference realignment move is on tap, with Merrimack and Sacred Heart set to leave the Northeast Conference to join the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Merrimack and Sacred Heart would join the 11 current MAAC teams if the move goes through as expected. The MAAC includes schools such as Iona, which reached the 2023 NCAA men’s basketball tournament under Rick Pitino, and Saint Peter’s, which reached the Elite Eight of the 2022 tournament as a No. 15 seed.
Future Football Conference TBD (remaining in the NEC as an affiliate member in football is an option)
