Baseball
Division titles are counted as a full regular season championship. Current Summit League members Denver, Kansas City, North Dakota, and South Dakota have never sponsored baseball while in the conference.
Of former Summit members, IUPUI added baseball in the 1994 season but dropped the sport after 2001;[7] Wisconsin–Milwaukee only participated in league play in the 1994 season, its final one in the conference; Oakland did not participate in league play during the 1999 season, its first as a conference member; and Buffalo and Wisconsin–Green Bay never sponsored baseball while in the Summit.
Basketball (men's)All current Summit members have sponsored men's basketball throughout their tenures in the conference. Among former members, Cleveland State was suspended from conference play in men's basketball during the 1988–89 and 1989–90 seasons, and Oakland didn't compete in conference play during the 1998–99 season, its first as a Summit member.
