It was the rematch C-USA fans wanted and the football world needed.
Fans of college football will recall that 2021 has not been kind to Conference USA. A new realignment that started with the departure of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC has trickled slowly down to the G5 conferences and C-USA felt the brunt of that change. Six teams will exit C-USA in the coming years and head off to greener pastures while the conference attempts to stay relevant with new FCS additions.
One of the teams leaving is the UTSA Roadrunners. The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, meanwhile, will stay put.
