New Souther Regional Conference (Strong G5 conference and good regional matchups) For this to work the new conference needs a deal similar to the MAC.
West - East
Ark St - Marshall
La Tech - App State
So Miss - ODU
N Texas - WKU
Troy - MTSU
RICE -Liberty

That honestly accomplishes nothing. The geography is only marginally better (no UTEP), Troy has been trending the wrong direction in football and doesn't have the market that South Alabama or UAB has, and it cuts off access to Florida for recruiting.

If anything happens to clean up the G5, Liberty needs to find a way to invite seven existing FBS schools to the Big South:

Liberty
Old Dominion
Charlotte
App State
Coastal Carolina
Marshall
Georgia State
Georgia Southern

This puts C-USA at 11 and the Sun Belt at 6. Rearrange the deck chairs as how you see fit.
