It's the pits of the offseason, so why not discuss a little hypothetical realignment?
I was in Charlotte a few days ago to spend some time with family, and on the way back, just for the heck of it, I drove through Charlotte's campus. I have to admit I was surprised at how nice it was. It definitely lacks a sense of history since it clearly was built in relatively recent years on either wooded land or former farmland, but it looked nice. Anyway, I can't get over how stupid it is that App flies out to to Texas for conference games, as Charlotte does from the same airport, but they don't play each either.
Meanwhile, Texas State is pretty isolated in SBC, but is surrounded by G5 schools within just a few hours.
Would it be possible to have a simple trade of the two schools?
Charlotte would have App, Coastal, and the Georgia schools in one division. Troy would get to join USA in the western division (and help to balance out the divisions competitively). Texas State would get to be among the other Texas schools, and UAB would get to return to the east, where it used to be.
There are other threads for larger scale realignemnt, but how about a simple trade?
