So, you expand, set divisions, then eventually, since you've been together for x number of years, you grab 3-6 more and start a viable conference without the 5-year NCAA credit loss. Or not and stay big.

I think consolidating C-USA and the Sunbelt into compatible divisions has a lot of merit.

Don't even have to do that.

Cut back the league schedules in most sports and just sign an agreement to play X games in each sport against teams from the other league from the corresponding division.

CUSA could go from an 8 game league schedule to say 7 crossing over only once but then each CUSA West plays 2 against Sun Belt west on home and home that don't count in standings. Do similar in other league schedule sports.
