Men's & Women's Soccer

Several Big West members' men's soccer programs compete outside the conference through affiliate arrangements — Cal Baptist, Cal Poly, UC Riverside, and UC San Diego all play men's soccer in the rebuilt Pac-12 rather than the Big West, similar to how some Big 12 and SEC schools' men's soccer teams play in the Sun Belt.
