On July 12, 2022, the Northeast Conference (NEC) and MEAC announced a partnership in which all MEAC members that sponsored baseball and men's and women's golf became NEC affiliates in those sports effective immediately.
[9] In addition to the aforementioned MEAC members, 18 other teams changed conferences after the 2022 season: Incarnate Word had announced plans to leave the SLC for the WAC after the 2022 season,[25] but days before that move was to take effect, the school announced it was staying in the SLC.
The teams in each conference that win their regular season title are given the number one seed in each tournament.
