Missouri State celebrated its upcoming new era of college athletics when it held a formal press conference detailing its impending move to Conference USA. The Bears, who have competed in the Missouri Valley Conference since 1990, will join CUSA as a full-league member before the 2025-26 season. The school announced its transition to the FBS conference on Friday morning.

Smart said that while Missouri State has spent around $31 million on athletics, it figures to spend $36 million once the school joins CUSA full-time come July 2025. According to the USA Today NCAA Finances Database for Fiscal Year 2022, a $36 million budget would put it near the top of the league.

They will be one of the top baseball teams in the conference
