Conference USA Press Conference Recap

On Friday, Liberty Athletics and members of the Conference USA staff were on campus to hold a press conference to discuss the Flames joining the league.

Liberty announced a new direction for its athletics department on November 5, as conference membership for its athletics programs will move to Conference USA, starting with the 2023-24 athletics season.

Conference USA will be the all-sports conference for Liberty Athletics, including the Flames’ football team that has competed as an FBS independent program since moving up to the FBS level in 2018.

Along with Liberty, Conference USA announced the addition of three other new members this afternoon: Jacksonville State University (Jacksonville, Ala.), New Mexico State University (Las Cruces, N.M.) and Sam Houston State University (Huntsville, Texas).
