Okay......just for fun.

Pick your 12 team regional conference (excluding AAC teams) of the best G-5 teams no further west than La., and no further north than Kty. Base this on FOOTBALL only. I could care less about b'ball and volleyball!! Fire away boys.......

I know what you're getting at. But basing everything on football is not a good way to build a conference. Men's basketball is a huge factor.

it could be....

dude....you're really on a neg path to perdition since you went overseas....

ignore and enjoy the suck that is what you deem as only impo®tant...

I will never agree with your position relative to hoops....

half of zero is still zero...two halves are req'd to create the whole....

Abiding by the rules:

West: Us, La Tech, La-Lafayette, Arkansas St., South Alabama, Troy
East: MT, WKU, Ga Southern, Appalachian, Marshall, ODU

Bending the rules, I'd rather have UAB instead of Troy all-sports, and Rice instead of either one of them just to keep a foot in Texas and their academic sway.

East: Appy, Georgia Southern, Marshall, WKU, MTSU, UAB
West: USM, USA, Tech, ULL, Rice, Ark State

That Marshall-Marshall game would be a hell of a rivalry.

I accidentally put Rice twice in my first list. I think there's a real scarcity of desirable schools at our level and our brains are resorting to repetition.
