As of July 1, 2025, the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) has expanded to 136 teams with the official addition of Delaware and Missouri State to Conference USA (CUSA), and UMass joining the Mid-American Conference (MAC). This realignment follows a broader trend initiated four years ago by Texas and Oklahoma's move to the Southeastern Conference (SEC), which has triggered 36 FBS teams, representing over a quarter of the subdivision, to change conferences. Notable teams affected by these shifts include Marshall, Southern Miss, Old Dominion, James Madison, Cincinnati, Houston, UCF, BYU, Charlotte, FAU, North Texas, Rice, UAB, UTSA, Liberty, and New Mexico State. Meanwhile, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) has updated its exit procedures, setting a new deadline of June 1 for member schools to give notice of intent to withdraw, replacing the previous August 15 deadline, as outlined in Clemson's settlement with the ACC. The Pac-12 Conference is actively pursuing expansion, with commissioner Teresa Gould discussing potential additions such as Memphis, Rice, UTSA, Saint Mary’s, and Grand Canyon University (GCU), alongside strategic considerations regarding media rights and basketball. These developments reflect ongoing significant shifts in college athletics conference alignments and strategies.
