Along with discussion, several items were approved through the MAC's governance structure, including:

Additional change to the MAC men’s basketball distribution policy to reward success in the NCAA Tournament. Specifically, to provide teams that win in the NCAA Tournament to receive 30% of the value of the units earned the next two-years.
Eliminating divisions in the sports of women’s soccer and women’s softball beginning with the 2018-19 academic year.
Approved the MAC policy on sexual violence prevention.
