Here’s what we know about the Group of 5 conferences and whether or not they’ll play football this fall:

  • MAC — definitely out
  • Mountain West — definitely out
  • Conference USA — reportedly in
  • Sun Belt — reportedly in

Now, the American Athletic Conference — the 1 remaining Group of 5 conference — has reportedly made its decision.

Per Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger, the AAC will continue its preparations for a fall season in anticipation of playing this year:

As mentioned before in other stories, this is still a very fluid situation and things can change in an instant.

But, for now, it appears as though 3 Group of 5 conferences are moving forward with plans for the season, which is an encouraging sign.
