Realignment

Fifteen D-I baseball schools joined new conferences for the 2024 season, and one baseball-sponsoring school started a transition from NCAA Division II for the 2024 season.

  • BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF joined the Big 12 Conference. BYU left the West Coast Conference, and the others left the American Athletic Conference (The American).

  • Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, Rice, UAB, and UTSA left Conference USA (CUSA) for The American.
  • Jacksonville State, Liberty, New Mexico State, and Sam Houston joined CUSA. Jacksonville State and Liberty left the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN), and New Mexico State and Sam Houston the Western Athletic Conference.
  • Le Moyne, previously a member of the D-II Northeast-10 Conference, joined the Northeast Conference (NEC).
  • Western Illinois left the Summit League for the Ohio Valley Conference.

In addition to the above, Hartford, which had played the 2023 season as a Division I independent, joined the Commonwealth Coast Conference, now known as the Conference of New England, as part of the school's transition to NCAA Division III.

The 2024 season was the last for 18 baseball schools in their current conferences.

  • All 11 baseball-sponsoring members of the Pac-12 Conference left for other conferences or became independent:
    • Arizona, Arizona State and Utah joined the Big 12 Conference.
    • California and Stanford joined the Atlantic Coast Conference.
    • Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC joined the Big Ten Conference.
    • Oregon State chose to compete as an independent.
    • Washington State became an affiliate of the Mountain West Conference.
  • Kennesaw State left the ASUN for CUSA.
  • Merrimack and Sacred Heart left the Northeast Conference for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
  • Oklahoma and Texas left the Big 12 Conference for the Southeastern Conference.
  • Stephen F. Austin and UTRGV left the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) for the Southland Conference.

In addition to the above:

  • Two baseball-sponsoring Division II schools, Mercyhurst and West Georgia, announced they would start transitions to Division I after the 2024 season. Mercyhurst joined the NEC and West Georgia the ASUN.
  • Delaware announced on November 28, 2023 that it would leave the CAA after the 2025 season to join CUSA.
  • UMass announced on February 29, 2024 that it would leave the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10) for the Mid-American Conference after the 2025 season.
  • La Salle announced on April 16, 2024 that it would reinstate baseball in the 2026 season, returning to its primary home of the A-10. It had dropped the sport after the 2021 season.
  • On May 10, 2024, three baseball schools announced they would change conferences after the 2025 season:
    • Grand Canyon and Seattle will leave the WAC for the West Coast Conference.
