The Army-Navy game will remain a nonconference event played after the league title game.

The American Athletic Conference has voted to accept Army as a football-only member starting in 2024, two sources briefed on the vote confirmed to The Athletic, with a formal announcement expected later on Wednesday. Yahoo Sports first reported the vote. Here’s what you need to know: football spent 1998 to 2004 in Conference USA before going independent. The AAC welcomed six new schools ahead of the 2023 football season to grow to 14 members but will lose to the ACC next year.

Advertisement The AAC’s ESPN contract through 2031-32 provides stability, though it’s still unclear at the moment whether Army’s home games will move to that deal or remain on CBS Sports Network through 2028, as part of a contract that was extended last year. The conference has schools with strong academic traditions like Tulane, Rice and, of course, Navy. The AAC also has a large footprint in Texas, where all three service academies recruit heavily for football.
