Entering the 2006 baseball season , many baseball-sponsoring schools changed conferences . Several schools left Conference USA , as Charlotte and St. Louis left for the Atlantic 10 Conference , Cincinnati , Louisville , and South Florida left for the Big East Conference , and Texas Christian left for the Mountain West Conference . In order to replace these schools , Conference USA added Rice from the Western Athletic Conference , Marshall from the Mid-American Conference , and Central Florida from the Atlantic Sun Conference
