KANSAS — The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference announced today the addition of men's volleyball as its newest varsity sport. The conference now officially offers 29 varsity sports.
The KCAC joins seven other conferences in the NAIA that sponsor men's volleyball. The conference will have seven men's volleyball programs in the 2027 season, including full member institutions Avila University, Kansas Wesleyan University, Oklahoma Wesleyan University, Ottawa University, and the University of Saint Mary, along with per-sport member schools Central Christian College (Kan.) and Mission University (Mo.).
"We at the KCAC continue to be one of the leaders in small college athletics," Brandon Buchanan, KCAC Commissioner, remarked. "We are blessed, fortunate, and excited to expand our reach, provide more opportunities for student athletes and jump into the ever expanding sport of Men's Volleyball. We look forward to not only implementing this sport next year but watching how much this sport can grow and continue to develop within our conference and around the NAIA."
