Conference USA
C-USA now has 12 "associate members"—schools that are full members of another conference who play select sports in C-USA. One plays baseball, five  play women's beach volleyball, five others compete in bowling (which the NCAA runs only for women), and one competes in both beach volleyball and bowling. Most of these schools became associate members in 2023, when C-USA expanded its beach volleyball membership and added bowling as a sponsored sport. C-USA added bowling by absorbing the Southland Bowling League, a single-sport conference founded by, but separate from, the all-sports Southland Conference.
