West Georgia is moving up to NCAA Division I. The state board of regents has approved the move, which allows the Division II Wolves to begin transitioning to the Atlantic Sun Conference in the fall of 2024.
The UAC currently has 10 schools — four from the Atlantic Sun and six from the WAC. West Georgia will become the 11th member, and WAC school Texas-Rio Grande Valley plans to launch a football program in 2025.
All other West Georgia teams will compete in the Atlantic Sun. The school currently fields 14 sports — nine women’s and five men’s — and plans to add men’s track and field, women’s beach volleyball and women’s stunt, a form of competitive cheerleading. School officials said no major facility upgrades will be required. West Georgia already has a 10,000-seat football stadium and a basketball arena that holds nearly 6,000.
“It is important for us to control our own destiny in the changing world of college athletics,” West Georgia President Brendan Kelly said.
