^ 14 full members with Wichita State as a non-football member 14 football members with Navy as a football-only affiliate.^ Known as Big East Conference prior to 2013.The men's and women's sports so counted need not be the same sport. Each school may count one men's and one women's sport not sponsored by its primary conference toward the above limits, as long as that sport competes in another Division I conference. Among these additional NCAA regulations, institutions in the Football Bowl Subdivision must be "multisport conferences" and participate in conference play in at least six men's and eight women's sports, including football, men's and women's basketball, and at least two other women's team sports.

Football Bowl Subdivision Ĭonferences in the Football Bowl Subdivision must meet a more stringent set of NCAA requirements than other conferences. Schools in all divisions that sponsor athletic programs for only one sex/gender need only meet the sports sponsorship requirements for that sex/gender. If a conference officially sponsors an NCAA "emerging sport" for women (as of 2023, acrobatics & tumbling, equestrianism, rugby union, stunt, triathlon, or wrestling), that sport will be counted if five members (instead of six) sponsor it.
