I could see move up to take the place of some teams moving down, but there are teams that are wanted in FBS like James Madison and Missouri State. I could see at one point Stony Brook moving up.
Someone pointing out that credits for conferences? How many credits does now defunct conferences have that were D1 at one point? Great West did not have credits because they could not keep teams. Does Southwest Conference get reborn from C-USA and Sun Belt Conference west schools to form from minus La.-Monroe? I could see UTEP moving to the MWC.
Southwest Conference:
North Texas
Rice
UTSA
Texas State
New Mexico State
Arkansas State
Little Rock
La. Tech
La.-Lafayette
Missouri State
Lamar
UTRGV (adding football) move UTA back to the WAC.)
C-USA:
Middle Tennessee State
Western Kentucky
Southern Mississippi
Old Dominion
UAB
James Madison
UMass.
Georgia State
Delaware
Appalachian State
Stony Brook
Buffalo or Southern Alabama
SBC:
La.-Monroe or move back down to FCS's Southland
South Alabama or Jacksonville State
Troy
Georgia Southern
Coastal Carolina
Chattanooga
East Tennessee State
North Florida
FGCU
Kennesaw State
Eastern Kentucky
The Citadel (stadium size is FBS capacity)
Liberty?
Plus, we have to watch what the North Carolina politicians are going to do, and any expansions by the P5. AAC schools are targets to weaken AAC again away from being a power conference.
Musical chairs could be at it again, and none of the G5 conferences are safe.
FGCU will never be in The Belch. They are a Devry with a basketball program. More accurately, they are a Grand Canyon U without GCU's history. FGCU has been around less than Trump U. The Belch wouldn't touch that with a 10 ft poll. Liberty would cause certain Belch members to leave I've heard.
Never is forever. FGCU still doesn't have the enrollment yet to start fb. But that may be coming. Never say never.
A facepalm from a child is worthy of from Sun Belt fans, who are children themselves.
