Southern miss conference realignment8/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Southern Miss is in conference "C" in this possibility.īasically, what is going on is a waiting game to see if any teams from the AAC are invited to the Big 12.

The Sun Belt would still have Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee, Conference USA would still have East Carolina and Memphis, and the American Athletic Conference would likely not even exist with the Big East staying around as a full sports conference.Īlas, conference realignment did occur with 28 of the 36 teams from the AAC, C-USA, and Sun Belt moving to a different conference in the last few seasons.
