- West Georgia will participate but is ineligible for the automatic bid as the Wolves aren’t scheduled to become full D1 members until 2027-28. However, West Georgia will also be one of five current ASUN members who will move to the United Athletic Conference after this academic year.
- The ASUN and WAC formed a strategic alliance that will see the latter conference’s remaining Texas-based members (including non-football UT Arlington) form a rebranded UAC with the ASUN’s five scholarship FCS members, and non-football Little Rock (from the OVC).
