In the 2010s, many college or university athletic programs have changed membership from one National Collegiate Athletic Association athletic conference to another.
2019–2020 Note Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools that made conference moves affecting only spring sports were unable to complete their first seasons in the new league, or in some cases to even play said seasons.
