Shouldn't LeMoyne be listed in Blue for the NEC on the first page for basketball, baseball, soccer?
I don't have any changes out past the 2026-27 season listed yet.

RE: Confirmed and Speculative D1 Realignment Moves for 2024 to 2026
Men's wrestling and the colleges are adding women's wrestling Men's wrestling have produced the likes of Brock Lesner types to the pros. Big 12 just took a hit when both Texas and Oklahoma Men's wrestling moved to SEC. The SEC is just 3 schools away from sponsoring the sport. They have Missouri and Oklahoma. They are looking at UNC, NCSU, Virginia and Virginia Tech. Oklahoma State has the most D1 titles for Men's wrestling.
PAC 12 is now down to CSU-Bakersfield, Little Rock and Oregon State. If the MWC and PAC12 merges? Air Force and Wyoming would leave the Big 12 for the PAC 12 as full member. PAC 12 could grab California Baptist, Northern Colorado, Utah Valley, San Francisco State, and the two NAIA schools that are moving up to D2 as affiliates in wrestling. Simon Fraser can get a waiver for men's wrestling for the PAC 12. D1 only have 82 men's wrestling programs. D2 only have 72 programs. Merged D1 and d2 men's wrestling, and you could actually get more conferences to start sponsoring men's wrestling like the SEC, Summit League, Lone Star, etc.
SEC could grab West Virginia and Oklahoma State to get to 6 schools that sponsors men's wrestling along with UNC/NCSU and Virginia/Virginia Tech combo along with Oklahoma and Missouri. It might influence SEC schools to sponsor the sport.

Wow, big news. Apparently Texas has added Men's Wrestling; does anyone know when that happened. I guess Texas will be the 3rd SEC school with a team.
And merging D2 and D1 for men's wrestling; I've seen that idiotic nonsense before. Last time it was for men's lacrosse and that even included club teams.

Texas doesn't have wrestling. The only sport they added recently was beach volleyball.
