NIU will become a football only member of the Mountain West. Too good for the MAC (finished 6th last year.)
For other sports, they are joining the Horizon League in 2026! (Wonder if the Horizon gave them some sweet deal, but NIU certainly won't dominate that non-football league.)

They have always been a football-first school. Mostly suck in the other sports.
They're hoping to be MAC affiliate members in wrestling and gymnastics. MAC might tell them to F.O.!

Likely upgraded the exposure for their football program and let the rest of their programs know they’re really not all that interested.
