IRVING, Texas – Conference USA is finally at full strength. Now the league hopes stability leads to an improvement in on-field results.
UAB will return to the field this fall after a two-year hiatus. That puts C-USA at a full, 14-team football roster for the first time under the league’s current membership.
The league’s current programs have been together since 2014, but the conference hasn’t played with more than 13 programs in a season since then.
Western Kentucky joined the league in 2014 after leaving the Sun Belt Conference. That was one year after FIU, Florida Atlantic, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA all became full C-USA members.
