I can see members of the current G5 conferences being unhappy with what they ended up with .
I could see the Texas schools joining up with either top Western or Eastern schools . Every current conference has some schools considered weak links. Poor markets or not competitive the only way to change it is a new conference .
UTEP, SMU, HOUSTON and Rice could even be split two East two West.
East -UCF, USF, UC and UCONN
West- Fresno, SDSU, CSU and UNLV
Fourteen may even work better for travel.
The Texas schools could have guaranteed cross over match ups.
Two Texas schools get California exposure the other two Florida .
Texas would be the bridge with divisions its like two conferences anyway .
Bowls being mainly in Florida, Texas and California would help this conference. I know it's like a best of the rest conference splitting the Texas teams makes it work. The four East or four west could be different.
