“UIndy has distinguished itself among the best in NCAA Division II through its commitment to academic excellence, student success and national championship-caliber athletics, making it an exceptional fit for the Great Midwest Athletic Conference," G-MAC Commissioner Tom Daeger said in a statement. "Their addition further strengthens a conference committed to academic achievement, competitive excellence and an outstanding student-athlete experience. UIndy's institutional profile, tradition of success and geographic location align perfectly with our strategic vision for the future."

UIndy athletics have been very successful nationally in recent years. The Greyhounds won national titles in women's golf in 2015, 2018 and 2024, women's lacrosse in 2022 and men's swimming and diving in 2023.

“Joining the G-MAC is an exciting strategic opportunity that strengthens the future of UIndy Athletics and enhances the experience of our Greyhound student-athletes,” UIndy athletic director Kim Pate said in a release. “This move aligns us with institutions that share our values, reinforces our commitment to academic and athletic excellence, improves geographic alignment and positions Greyhound Athletics for sustained long-term success.

"Most importantly, our championship expectations remain unchanged. We will continue to compete for conference titles, NCAA postseason opportunities and national championships while providing a best-in-class student-athlete experience."

UIndy will compete for G-MAC championships beginning with the 2027-28 school year.
