HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Jacksonville State will bring its conference affiliation closer to home, with the Gamecocks announcing Friday they will join the ASUN Conference beginning with the 2021-22 athletics season. The Gamecocks will rejoin the ASUN – the league that was its first Division I conference home - after an 18-year stay in the Ohio Valley Conference that produced some of the most decorated years in JSU’s storied history. The ASUN announced on Friday an expansion that includes JSU, Eastern Kentucky and Central Arkansas and brings the league’s membership to 12 teams. “This is an exciting day for Jacksonville State University, for our student-athletes, for our alumni and for our fans,” Jacksonville State President Dr, Don Killingsworth said.
