Three affiliate members also compete: James Madison, Old Dominion, and Vanderbilt.^[13] Charlotte and South Florida are playing their first varsity seasons in spring 2025.

The most recent departures from American Conference women's lacrosse are affiliate members Cincinnati and Florida. Cincinnati had kept women's lacrosse in The American after otherwise leaving for the Big 12 Conference in 2023, but left after the spring 2024 season when the Big 12 began sponsoring the sport. Florida followed Cincinnati to Big 12 women's lacrosse.

Women's rowing

The American dropped women's rowing after the 2023–24 school year. In the final season, full members SMU, Temple, and Tulsa were joined by affiliate members Old Dominion and Sacramento State.^[14] Villanova competed as an affiliate member in rowing from 2013 to 2015 before leaving for the Colonial Athletic Association (now known as the Coastal Athletic Association) and San Diego State competed as an affiliate member in rowing from 2015 to 2021 but discontinued their program because of financial difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

SMU left for the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2024, leading The American to drop the sport. Old Dominion and Tulsa became affiliates of the Big 12 Conference; Sacramento State became an affiliate of the West Coast Conference; and Temple became an independent for the 2024–25 school year, after which it will become an affiliate of the Mid-American Conference.
