The Mid-West Athletic Conference (MWAC) is an athletic conference in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). The Mid-West Athletic Conference is a two-year college conference composing the two-year schools in Central and South Central Illinois, and one school in Southwestern Indiana, who also compete as part of the NJCAA in its Region XXIV (or Region 24).[1] Conference championships are held in most sports and individuals can be named to All-Conference and All-Academic teams. The conference itself is a Division-II organization though some member schools feature teams that compete at the Division-I or Division-III levels.
