<P> The ranks of football independents increased by one starting with the 2011 season with the announcement that BYU would leave the Mountain West Conference (MWC) to become a football independent starting with that season . The ranks increased by two in 2013 when the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) dropped football and New Mexico State and Idaho did not have a conference for football . The ranks of football independents decreased by two in 2014 with the return of Idaho and New Mexico State as football - only members of the Sun Belt Conference (SBC) and decreased by one more in 2015 with Navy joining the American Athletic Conference (AAC) as a football only member . UMass became FBS independent in 2016 . Two further teams are slated to join the ranks of FBS independents: New Mexico State, whose membership in the Sun Belt Conference was not extended beyond the 2017 season, and Liberty, which transitioned from the Big South Conference of the Football Championship Subdivision in 2018 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Institution </Th> <Th> Founded </Th> <Th> Nickname </Th> <Th> First season </Th> <Th> Location </Th> <Th> Type </Th> <Th> Enrollment </Th> <Th> Primary conference </Th> <Th> Colors </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Army!
