Conference usa6/15/2023 If any league has learned how to deal with realignment and come out standing on the other side, it’s them.Įrnest Bowker is the sports editor of The Vicksburg Post. However it shakes out, it seems like Conference USA will soldier on in some form or fashion. It’s unclear which FCS programs are looking to move to the next level, but there are a number of potential targets in the Atlantic Sun and Western Athletic Conference that would maintain C-USA’s regional approach. Conference: - SELECT ONE - Atlantic 10 ACC America East American ASUN Big 12 Big East Big Sky Big South Big Ten Big West Conference USA Colonial Horizon Independents Ivy MAAC Mid-American. New Mexico State and Liberty are both FBS independents searching for a permanent home. Given the current lineup of C-USA, there are some obvious targets for expansion. Six schools - Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UAB and UTSA - are set to join the American. The league has been a home for programs of all shapes and sizes, whether it was a safe haven for Houston and Louisville after their original conferences blew up in the mid-1990s, or a steppingstone for schools like TCU, Cincinnati and Central Florida on their way toward the big time. Conference USA has lost nine current members in the latest round of realignment. TCU, Louisville, Cincinnati and Central Florida are all former members. Conference USA officially added four teams on Friday after six other teams had announced they were leaving the conference. It’s always been as much a feeder system for larger conferences as its own entity. Radical realignments in 20 overhauled C-USA’s roster, and many schools have had brief stints.
