DALLAS (AP) — Conference USA's new media rights deal with ESPN and CBS will include midweek football games throughout October as the league tries to increase visibility similarly to the way the Mid-American Conference has by playing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays late in the season. The multiyear deal announced Thursday starts next season as Conference USA goes through extensive membership turnover. Six current C-USA members are leaving after this season to join the American Athletic Conference.
