Ever-evolving, Conference USA football returns in 2017 with yet another change: The return of UAB Blazer football for the first time since 2014. Changes have been made in the ensuing years, and with Old Dominion and Charlotte taking their place in the East, it’s time to welcome the Blazers to their new home, and new slew of rivals: The C-USA West.
Ultimately, this makes sense, as their new divisional rivals are closer geographically, and with the Sun Belt sharing much of the SEC’s footprint, if Bama is in the West, so must go the Blazers.
Will this mean a new heated rivalry?
