SIU-Edwardsville will join the MAC as an affiliate member for Soccer and Wrestling starting in 2018.

MAC Press Release:
MAC Adds SIU Edwardsville as Affiliate Member in Men's Soccer and Wrestling

SIU-Edwardsville upgrades to MAC Soccer from MVC soccer and upgrades to MAC Wrestling from SoCon wrestling. These are solid moves for SIU-Edwardsville.

MAC Soccer gets a nice bump too basically swapping Buffalo soccer (UB dropped the sport) for SIU-Edwardsville soccer. MAC wrestling also announced that UNI wrestling is leaving to join the Big 12, so although they are unrelated, it's basically a swap. MAC wrestling probably took a hit there, UNI is a top wrestling program, but MAC wrestling is still a top wrestling league.

Looks like the soccer move to the MAC is being fast-tracked to start immediately for the 2017 season. Wrestling is still scheduled to join the MAC in 2018.
