In April 2012 several reports linked ODU to possible conference realignment in FBS with the Big East and the C-USA and possibly beginning conference play as soon as 2013 . The Big East reports were silenced with the addition of schools University of Houston , University of Central Florida , Southern Methodist University , and University of Memphis . However , the C-USA was still interested in ODU after adding five new schools including University of North Carolina at Charlotte , Florida International , University of North Texas , Louisiana Tech , and Texas-San Antonio
