Omaha Men's Tennis will join the Mid-American Conference (MAC) starting with the 2026-27 season, enhancing its competitive landscape. The MAC Commissioner highlighted the strong traditions and commitment of both Omaha and Drake, the other new affiliate member. Previously part of the Summit League, Omaha's transition comes after the league's discontinuation of men's tennis sponsorship. Their program boasts 18 All-League selections and two conference championship match appearances. This move aims to provide a stable and competitive environment for student-athletes moving forward.

By the Numbers
  • Omaha has had 18 All-League selections during its time in the Summit League.
  • Omaha went 2-2 against MAC members this past season.
State of Play
  • Omaha Men's Tennis is now in transition from the Summit League, which no longer sponsors the sport.
  • The program recently received a $125,000 anonymous donation to strengthen operations as it prepares for MAC competition.
What's Next

The Mavericks will aim to build competitive rivalries in the MAC and continue enhancing their program's profile. The significant donation will also support their integration into the new conference structure.

Bottom Line

This strategic move to the MAC is a major opportunity for Omaha Men's Tennis to elevate its program and compete at a higher level, solidifying its future in collegiate tennis.
