The college football landscape has seen some drastic changes over the last year. Whether it’s NIL deals, the transfer portal, or conference realignments, nothing feels set in stone anymore.
One thing is for certain, this will be the last season for the American Athletic Conference as we know it today.
Starting next season, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF will be departing for the Big 12.
The AAC will be bringing in six new programs to replace them in Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UAB and UTSA. The American will move forward competing as a 14-team league.
