  Draft Scout by Conference








  06/18/22 - OG Clay ServinrSr/2024, Rice

  Nearly eight months after accepting an invitation to join the American Athletic Conference, Rice on Wednesday announced it has finalized an agreement to officially enter the league in 2023. Rice - along with UTSA, North Texas, UAB, Florida Atlantic and Charlotte - will jump from Conference USA to the AAC on July 1, 2023. Rice athletic director Joe Karlgaard said the announcement "brings Rice athletics a step closer to its very bright future." Left out of the Big 12 following the breakup of the Southwest Conference in the mid-1990s, Rice spent eight years in the Western Athletic Conference and eventually joined C-USA in 2005.

The AAC's agreements with the six new schools - which were spread out over the last five days - ends the latest round of conference realignment that began last summer with Texas and Oklahoma accepting invitations to join the Southeastern Conference. That set off a wave of moves, with the Big 12 adding the University of Houston, Cincinnati and Central Florida from the AAC and independent BYU, and the AAC quickly adding six C-USA schools to form a 14-team football league. On Friday, the AAC said it reached agreements on $18 million exit fees with its three departing schools - who will join the Big 12 on the same date - to pave the way for Rice to finally set a concrete date to join its new league. - Houston Chronicle
