College football realignment rolls on again this year with a few changes. On Tuesday, July 1, those conference changes for the 2025 season officially take effect.

Three changes this season affect the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The UMass Minutemen, formerly an FBS Independent, have returned to the Mid-American Conference (MAC) as a full member.

The other two changes in the FBS involve teams moving up from the FCS and joining Conference USA. Those two teams are the Delaware Blue Hens out of the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) and the Missouri State Bears from the Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC).
