Missouri State Athletics Director Kyle Moats said Thursday afternoon that the university has not been contracted by a Football Bowl Subdivision conference nor has the school contacted one itself.
Moats made the comments days after Matt Brown, the publisher of a college athletics newsletter called "Extra Points," reported Monday evening that Missouri State could be in the mix to move to Conference USA.
In Brown's recent Extra Points newsletter, he wrote that he knew C-USA was looking at a few FCS programs in Texas and Louisiana. On Monday, he tweeted that the conference "could expand beyond just Texas and Louisiana" while specifically saying "don't be surprised if Missouri State, or even potentially other FCS programs, get into the mix soon as well.
