The conference was founded in 1980 by six charter members: the U.S. Military Academy , Fairfield University , Fordham University , Iona College , Manhattan College , and Saint Peter's College .[ 1] cross-country and men's soccer .[ 1]
MAAC men's basketball game between Marist College and Fairfield University Competition in men's and women's basketball began in the 1981–1982 season.[ 1]
The conference currently possesses 15 automatic bids to NCAA championships.[ 1] [ 1]
The league added football in 1993, but discontinued it following the 2007 season.
From 1997 to 2003, the MAAC sponsored ice hockey . At that time, the hockey league split from the MAAC and changed its name to the Atlantic Hockey Association (now Atlantic Hockey America after its 2024 merger with College Hockey America ). Also, Marist University
and Rider University moved the majority of their intercollegiate athletic programs to the MAAC in 1997 with the intent that the MAAC would enhance media exposure and competition for their men's and women's Division I basketball programs.[ 2]
In 2011, the conference launched MAAC.TV, the league's first broadband network.
In March 2012, for the first time in 16 years, the MAAC had two teams advance to the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament , with Loyola earning the league's automatic bid and Iona garnering an at-large bid.[ 1]
In July 2013, Quinnipiac University and Monmouth University joined the MAAC to replace Loyola University Maryland , departing to the Patriot League .[ 3] Field hockey was added for the 2013–14 academic year.[ 4] Northeast Conference (NEC), which reinstated the sport the following year.[ 5] Intercollegiate Rowing Association .
In 2022, Monmouth left the MAAC to join the Colonial Athletic Association, now known as the Coastal Athletic Association .[ 6] Mount St. Mary's University , a full but non-football NEC member. ESPN reported on April 27, 2022 that the addition of Mount St. Mary's for 2022–23 and beyond would be finalized in early May.[ 7] Saint Peter's became the first 15-seed ever to reach an NCAA regional final, losing there to eventual national runner-up No. 8 North Carolina . Mount St. Mary's would be confirmed as Monmouth's replacement on May 2.[ 8]
Also in 2022, four schools that were already MAAC affiliates added men's lacrosse to their MAAC memberships. All were full members of conferences that dropped the sport following the addition of men's lacrosse by the Atlantic 10 Conference . LIU , Sacred Heart , and Wagner are members of the Northeast Conference (now officially NEC),[ 9] VMI is a member of the Southern Conference . LIU is the only one of the four that had not previously housed men's lacrosse in the MAAC.[ 10]
Merrimack College and Sacred Heart University joined the conference for the 2024-25 season.[ 11]
Athletic and academic success
Over the conference's history, MAAC teams have achieved national acclaim in many sports. In the summer of 2002, the Marist men's varsity eight boat advanced to the semifinals of the Temple Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta .[ 12] NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament .[ 13] [ 1] 2022 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament , the Saint Peter's Peacocks became the first 15 seed to reach the Elite Eight .[ 14] [ 15] NIT appearances and 50 NCAA basketball tournament appearances.[ 1]
Notable MAAC student athletes include Mary Beth Riley, a 1991 graduate of Canisius, who was the first recipient of the NCAA Woman of the Year Award and Erin Whalen, a member of the Iona women's rowing team who in the fall of 1998 was awarded one of the nation's 32 Rhodes Scholarships for academic achievement and civic leadership.[ 1]
On August 17, 2022, MAAC commissioner Rich Ensor announced his intent to retire after the 2022–23 season after serving in the role since 1988.[ 16] Ohio Valley Conference as its assistant commissioner for football, basketball and officiating, would replace Ensor as just the fourth commissioner in MAAC history.[ 17]
On May 28, 2026, the MAAC announced its intention to rebrand to The Metro Conference, effective July 1, 2026, in an effort to eliminate confusion with the Mid-American Conference 's acronym.[ 18]
On October 22, 2026, the Metro announced that Le Moyne College had accepted an invitation to join the conference on July 1, 2027.[ 19]

NCAA tournament at-large bids
In 2012, Iona, who was inspired by one of their all around best players Sean Armand, which had lost in the semifinals of that year's MAAC tournament, received an NCAA at-large tournament bid. This was the second time the conference was awarded multiple men's NCAA bids.
After St. Peter's won the 1995 MAAC tournament, the NCAA men's basketball tournament selection committee awarded Manhattan University an at large bid. The Jaspers proved the committee correct by defeating Oklahoma in the first round.[ 25]
The same first-round success Manhattan enjoyed in the 1995 NCAA tournament could not be matched by Iona. In the 2012 NCAAs, the Gaels unexpectedly relinquished a 25-point, first-half lead to the BYU Cougars , falling 78–72 in Dayton, Ohio . Further, Iona's offense, the highest-scoring (per game) in the nation, managed just 17 points in the second half of that upset.
It was the largest comeback in NCAA tournament history, besting the 22-point hole the Duke Blue Devils rallied from to defeat the Maryland Terrapins in the Final Four of the 2001 NCAA tournament .[ 26]

Ice hockey
History
The MAAC began sponsoring hockey in 1997 due to NCAA regulations that required all Division I conferences to participate in all Division sports. At the founding of the MAAC hockey conference, only three of the eight founding teams were full members of the conference: Canisius , Fairfield , and Iona . The MAAC also added five associate members: American International , Connecticut , Holy Cross , Quinnipiac , and Sacred Heart (at the time Quinnipiac and Sacred Heart were not members of the MAAC, though they would join the conference as full members later on). The conference began play starting with the 1998–99 season, where Quinnipiac and Holy Cross won the inaugural regular season and conference tournament championships, respectively. The MAAC added two additional teams starting with the 1999–00 season: Mercyhurst and Bentley . Army joined the conference for the 2000–01 season, bringing the conference up to eleven member teams. At the conclusion of the 2002–03 season, Fairfield and Iona both discontinued their men's ice hockey programs, and while the conference's remaining nine teams could continue without them, having only one full member necessitated the folding of the MAAC hockey conference as MAAC rules only allowed full conference members to vote in new decisions, leaving almost all MAAC hockey members without a voice in conference decisions pertinent to hockey. The following year all of the teams continued their programs in the newly formed Atlantic Hockey conference.[ 27] AHA , ECAC , and Hockey East conferences.
Ice hockey membership timeline
MAAC ice hockey membership often varied significantly from normal conference membership, with the majority of schools being associate members.
