Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC)-(NCAA Division III)
Overview: In the last full season with nine teams, the Martin Luther College Knights finished undefeated at 8-0 in winning the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) championship in 2019. Their season ended in the first round of the NCAA Division III playoffs with Wheaton winning easily over the Knights, 51-7, on November 23. MLC's season ended at 9-2 overall with the loss to the Thunder.
In the pandemic-shortened season of 2020-21, MLC compiled the best overall record in the UMAC after finishing at 3-1 overall, with the Knights' lone loss coming to Augsburg in a close 24-21 contest on April 18. The only other UMAC team to win at least two games during the abbreviated season was the Westminster College Blue Jays from Fulton, Missouri. The Blue Jays finished their season at 2-1 overall, with their only loss coming to now-former UMAC member Iowa Wesleyan in a 35-14 setback on May 1.
Speaking of Iowa Wesleyan, they were one of three teams to leave the UMAC at the end of the 2020-2021 academic year, with the Tigers not only rejoining the NAIA but also joining the North Star Athletic Association (NSAA) for football purposes. MacMurray College from Jacksonville, Illinois permanently closed its doors in 2020, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while the College of St. Scholastica made the move to the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) during the offseason. Finally, Finlandia University from Hancock, Michigan joins the UMAC from the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). All of those moves left the UMAC with seven football-playing schools going into the fall season of 2021.
