FAU accepts invitation to the American Athletic Conference

After spending nine seasons in Conference USA, FAU will have its change of scenery to the AAC.

When FAU joined Conference USA in 2013, it was originally seen as a move to gain more revenue and name recognition for the university.

Fast-forward nine seasons to now, and FAU has decided to move on for a change of scenery, this time with the American Athletic Conference (AAC).

In a press release the athletics department announced on Thursday, President John Kelly said that the university is proud to be one of the newest members of the AAC.
