The Great Florida Atlantic Conference Caper: Where Do the Owls Play Ball?
Ah, the Florida Atlantic University Owls. A fearsome (well, kinda) team known for their...uh...well, their beautiful campus, definitely! But listen, every good college b-ball team needs a conference to flex on, right? So, the burning question is: just where in the wacky world of college hoops do the FAU Owls take flight?
For the record, if you're rocking an FAU jersey and didn't know the answer, fear not! We've all been there. Admitting you forgot while surrounded by a sea of rabid fans is a whole different story, though. shivers
Hold onto your tortillas, folks, because we're about to unravel this mystery!
A Brief History of FAU's Conference Hopping Adventures
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
The FAU Owls, bless their hearts, have been on a bit of a conference rollercoaster ride. They started out in the Division II wilderness (no shade to Division II!), then soared to the Atlantic Sun Conference in the 90s. Feeling the competitive heat, they migrated to the sun-soaked sands of the Sun Belt Conference in the 2000s. But wait, there's more! In 2013, they did a quick two-step over to Conference USA, before finally landing in their current home: The American Athletic Conference (AAC) in 2023.
So, there you have it! The FAU Owls are currently ballin' it out in the AAC.
Bonus Fun Fact: Did you know the AAC is home to some pretty awesome teams, like the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Houston Cougars? Talk about some high-flying competition for our feathered friends from Florida!
