An NCAA collegiate conference formed in 1995, located in mostly the southeastern portion of the United States.
Initially a merger between two smaller conferences which did not sponsor football at the time, C-USA added its 12th member in 1996 to even out the membership.
Though members have left in the ensuing years, most notably to the expansion of the Big East prior to the 2005 season, Conference USA responded admirably by extending invitations to schools from the mid-major WAC and MAC conferences. As of 2010, C-USA has 12 universities in its fold, is recognized nationally in athletics as well as academics, and has more football bowl tie-ins than any other mid-major conference.
C-USA East:
University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Blazers
University of Central Florida (UCF) Golden Knights
East Carolina University (ECU) Pirates
Marshall University Thundering Herd
Memphis Tigers
Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles
C-USA West:
University of Houston Cougars
Rice University Owls
Southern Methodist University (SMU) Mustangs
University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) Miners
Tulane Green Wave
Tulsa Golden Hurricane

(1) Guido: Hey, my team's playing Tulsa this weekend. Why we gotta schedule such weak-ass Sun Belt competition?
Fredo: Dude, Tulsa plays in Conference USA. They're not exactly the Big 12, but they have six automatic bowl tie-ins and super-high attendance. Don't be hatin'.
Guido: My bad, dawg.
(2) Tara: Like, OMG, my boyfriend loves the SEC but I can't stand their crazed, screaming fans all year long. What should I do?
Kara: You should pick a Conference USA school. It's, like, totally the same geographic region, n' junk? Except it's way more fun, a lot less redneck, and you can still go to a bowl game or NCAA basketball tournament that kicks ass!
Tara: That is SO cool! I'll look into that! For serious!

The lifeguard was conference guarding with someone standing behind him instead of watching the pool.

"Henley, my good man, pray tell, where is Raphael this fine morning?"
"I do believe he is travelling Europe, attending a 2 week Scala conference.."
"My God! That man is a Conference Ho, if I ever met one!"

Chaired by SS General Reinhard Heydrich in January of 1942 in the suburbs of Grosse Wannsee in Berlin, the conference consisted of high ranking Nazi officials which included Adolf Eichmann and Gerhard Klopfer representing Hitler's secretary Martin Bormann and Roland Freisler who was Judge-President of the People's Court or Volksgerichtshof which condemned those who dared openly oppose the Nazis, the conference also included Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart who wrote the notorious Nuremberg Race Laws in 1934 which prevented Jews from marrying into "Aryan families" and which expelled Jews from academic and medical professions as well as citizenship which rendered them landless and stripped them of basic rights. The Wannsee conference lasted for a little over 2 hours and condemned millions of Jews to a certain death and gave birth to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in Poland. Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated in 1942 by British trained Czech agents on the streets of Prague, Adolf Eichmann was eventually arrested in Argentina by Mossad agents and sentenced to death in Israel for crimes against the Jewish people, Roland Freisler was killed in his own courtroom before he could condemn 3 young German officers to death by a direct hit to his own courtroom while he tried to gather important papers for the trial, Gerhard Klopfer after the war went into banking and died in 1989.
