"Someone’s Life Is Changing Today..." - A message from Corey

Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

The United Athletic Conference is officially here, launching July 1, 2026, with the University of North Alabama joining as a full member—marking a bold new chapter in Division I college sports. Formed through a historic partnership with the Atlantic Sun Conference, this alliance, called Unisun Sports, is all about smarter resource sharing, smarter revenue, and smarter scheduling to elevate student-athlete experiences. With nine schools—eight of them football-playing—including UNA, the UAC blends former WAC and ASUN members, plus Little Rock, while West Florida adds a unique twist by playing football in the UAC but staying in the ASUN for everything else. This isn’t just a conference realignment—it’s a strategic leap forward for college athletics.
