Possible FBS drops:
New Mexico St. (though I think they could find home in the FCS Southland)

Possible FCS drops
Monmouth
Rhode Island
CCSU
Sacred Heart

I don't think NMSU will ever drop football because they would have the stigma of being the only land grant university to drop football. While I do think that isn't likely that NMSU will wind up in the AAC, MWC, or C-USA, I do think they might be able to work something out with the SunBelt or a future western-based FBS conference.

Previously, I was thinking EMU was a sure bet to drop football, although I was hoping they wouldn't. EMU came back in a big way, so I think they're safe for awhile.

As for FCS, Sacred Heart could be a possibility along with Monmouth. I think Marist is a possibility as well, although I really hope all three keep football. But if they can't afford it, they can't afford it, and truthfully and I'm saying this from experience, there's nothing wrong with being a non-football school. I definitely think CCSU will find a way to keep football though as will Rhode Island.
