FAU Athletics hosts event on its acceptance into the American Athletic Conference

After an eight-year membership under Conference USA, Florida Atlantic University will be set to join the American Athletic Conference (AAC) in 2023.

As President John Kelly, Vice President and Director of Athletics Brian White, and Board of Trustee member Anthony Barbar spoke at the event Thursday afternoon, they reminded everyone of one thing: “Today, we move to a different level of success.”

A “thank you” went out to all of the Florida Atlantic athletic donors and the Schmidt family, who have been main supporters of FAU Athletics for years, was given kind regards. In fact, the announcement was made in the Schmidt Family Complex, named after these donors.
