10 Schools•Division III•Est. 1912
The Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) is one of the oldest, largest, and most historic collegiate athletic umbrellas in the United States. Established in 1912 and headquartered in Annville, Pennsylvania, it serves as the powerful parent organization for a massive network of institutions across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. Operating with an identity rooted in "Keystone State Toughness and Century-Old Traditions," the MAC is a unique entity. While it splits its members into two separate conferences (Freedom and Commonwealth) for Olympic sports and basketball to maximize NCAA tournament access, the primary Middle Atlantic Conference banner reunites these schools for American Football and Ice Hockey. On the gridiron, the MAC is a bruising, physical "Rust Belt" gauntlet, featuring legendary programs playing in unforgiving Northeast weather. It represents the absolute pinnacle of Division III athletic administration and historical preservation.
