Conference changes and new programs

Eastern	New program	Independent
Hilbert	New program	Independent

In addition to the above, the USA South amicably split into two conferences at the end of the 2021–22 school year. In addition to Averett, which left for the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, 10 of the previous 19 full members remained in the USA South, and eight left to form the new Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS). Belhaven, which had previously been announced as a new USA South all-sports member for 2021–22, instead joined CCS. Since CCS does not sponsor football, the separation agreement called for all football-sponsoring CCS members to become USA South affiliates. This meant the only changes to USA South football were the arrival of Belhaven and departure of Averett.
