With the addition, C-USA would be up to ten members. The ASUN currently has an alliance with the WAC (which is losing Sam Houston) so membership requirements for an AQ playoff bid will not be affected. If the Owls do indeed leave, they will leave behind the ASUN conference which would be down to just four members as aforementioned Jacksonville State is leaving the league as well. The NCAA dictates that FBS teams must average an attendance of 15,000 over a two-year span. As of right now, Fifth Third Bank Stadium, where the Owls play their home games, only seats just over 8,000. One big question mark, however, is what Kennesaw State would do to meet current FBS membership requirements. Location is a huge factor and KSU is in valuable C-USA territory in Kennesaw, GA.
The team has an overall record of 64-21 with a 5-4 record in the postseason.ĭespite popular belief, though, there’s more than merit that goes into an FCS-to-FBS move. Since then, the Owls have been one of the more successful FCS teams, making the playoffs four times and winning three conference titles as members of the Big South.
Kennesaw State’s football program is only eight years old, as they began playing in 2015. That addition is expected in the near future for Kennesaw to join effective 2024.- Pete Thamel October 7, 2022 Sources: Kennesaw State has emerged as the favorite to become Conference USA’s tenth member.
