— Sidelines Sports Network™ (@Sidelines_SN) May 10, 2024The Bears athletic program has called the Missouri Valley Conference home for the last 34 years, winning one tournament championship (1992) and one regular season championship (2011) in men’s basketball. For Missouri State, the move elevates the status of the football program into the FBS. A founding member of the Missouri Valley Football Conference (then known as the Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference) in 1985, the Bears have played in the FCS Playoffs four times, most recently in 2021.
This offseason, Missouri State fired head basketball coach Dana Ford, replacing him with Cuonzo Martin, who helmed the program to its 2011 regular season MVC championship, before leading the Tennessee, Cal, and Missouri programs.
In addition to Missouri State, Conference USA is also adding Kennesaw State (2024-25) and the University of Delaware (2025-26), to expand the conference to 12 programs.
Located in Springfield, Missouri, the university adds to the geographic diversity of Conference USA, which has eleven states represented in its twelve schools.
