The Bishop’s Gaiters football team will join the AUS conference beginning in the 2017 season.

Bishop’s is moving from the RSEQ conference, where they have posted three consecutive 1-7 records.

Following these changes, the RSEQ and AUS will be balanced with five football teams apiece.

Bishop’s will compete against the Acadia Axemen, Saint Mary’s Huskies, Mount Allison Mounties, and St. FX X-Men.
