How about this???
I have always tried to think of a good conference alternative for odu. To me,conference USA does not work. Too far,too many teams. I think and try to come up with ideas. I think this might be the answer. I have always heard NCAA will not allow new conferences without giving up automatic bid. I have heard that cusa/sun belt split would not work because of Louisiana tech not wanting to play Louisiana and Louisiana monroe. I have heard about exit fees. Anyway, here's my idea. Give colonial football back to a10. Most prestigious conference in FCS. Have basketball schools in colonial merge into more central conferences such as maac,america east,patriot, and/or big south or southern and that frees up my idea about 3 9 team conferences. 8 games in football.16 in basketball home and home. Closer geography. Better rivalries.
COLONIAL

Awful.
When will people realize the pukes are NEVER going to go FBS. Takes money and they will not be able to add enough women's sports and scholarships. To match the 22 full men's scholies they will need to add 38 women's scholies. Their female student population is ~57%.
I just looked another item up. As of this past summer JMU is still trying to become fully compliant to Title IX. They can't make it right now as an FCS team. THEY WILL NOT MAKE IT AS FBS.
Never. Going. To. Happen.

I couldn't get the merge function to work this morning to facilitate moving these posts to the other alignment thread, so I have just closed this one.
