SEC: without LSU and Ole Miss what happens with Tulane and Miss St? Do they still become SEC founders when that group breaks away from the SoCon? Without LSU and Ole Miss (and possibly their instate rivals) does that make more room for programs like Clemson, South Carolina, and the others that would later form the ACC?

Big 6/7/8: with Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri all out of the picture Iowa St and Kansas St end up stranded in a little school league. Colorado probably never joins.

Texas Tech and Houston: I know Tech was in the Border. I'm not sure where Houston was. Tech's presence in the Border and Colorado in the Skyline make both of those leagues stronger. Maybe both of these find their way into the WAC when it forms from the best of both leagues.

Houston, before entering the SWC and before that being independent, was in the Missouri Valley.
