On Tuesday, head football coach Tom Herman and four players were present in Irving, Texas for the Owls’ first American Athletic Conference (AAC) media day.
This is the start of a new era in the AAC, where FAU joins five other universities, the University of North Texas, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Rice University, University of Texas at San Antonio, and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte as new additions to the league. Three other universities left The American to attend the Big 12 Conference. The American has seven universities with new head coaches, including Florida Atlantic.
