Former South Alabama Athletic Director Joe Gottfried mentioned that USA would like to join Conference USA after the next big conference shift led by the Big East. He mentioned Memphis' desire to move their football squad to the Big East and then move all other Tiger sports (including basketball) to the Missouri Valley Conference.
