Missouri State leaving FCS for FBS
SPRINGFIELD, MO (Dakota News Now) – Another round of college re-alignment is hitting the FCS and Missouri Valley Football Conference.
Missouri State announced today that they are leaving the Missouri Valley and Missouri Valley Football Conference to join FBS Conference USA effective in the 2025-26 season.
They are the second charter member of the Valley to leave the conference in the last two years after Western Illinois bolted following the end of last season for the Ohio Valley. They were effectively replaced by Murray State who joined last season.
As it stands the league will be down to ten teams after 2024 when Missouri State heads up to the FBS. The Bears will not be eligible for the FCS Playoffs this season.
