Middle Atlantic Conference

The Middle Atlantic Conferences (MAC) is an NCAA Division III intercollegiate athletics organisation based in Newtown, Pennsylvania. Its structure comprises the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC), MAC Commonwealth and MAC Freedom; the latter two organise separate conference competition in sports including men’s and women’s basketball. The MAC’s official reporting states that more than 7,700 student-athletes participate across its sports, including both basketball programmes, and its NCAA directory record identifies it as a Division III conference with a men’s basketball coordinator of officials. The organisation announced the addition of Marywood University and Neumann University for 2026–27, with both institutions sponsoring men’s and women’s basketball. NCAA Division III championship material lists MAC Commonwealth and MAC Freedom separately among automatic-qualification basketball conferences. This record concerns the overarching collegiate conference organisation and its basketball structure, not a professional league or national basketball federation.
