1. NJCU to Leave NJAC, Join CUNYAC

“New Jersey City University will be the first of several institutions to join the eight current City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC) institutions in an expanded and newly-formed NCAA Division III conference to begin play in the 2027-28 academic year.

The Gothic Knights, currently a member of the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC), will wrap up membership in that league following the 2025-26 season before beginning competition as an affiliate member of the CUNYAC in 2026-27 in multiple sports.
