I don't recall Johnson being on anyone's radar.

Will any be full members of a conference for ‘21-‘22?

ABC and Johnson are unknown on conferences. Ohio Valley is already signed up for River States.

I would speculate that ABC and Johnson will both be candidates for the American Midwest, who recently lost schools to the Mid-South conference.

ABC, as a HBCU, would also be a candidate for the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, which has also bled members recently.

Johnson might also be a candidate for the Mid-South or Appalachian Athletic Conference, as they both have schools from Tennessee.

I suppose Johnson might consider the Sun, although that's a stretch. The reason they might consider it is because they also have a Kissimmee campus, and if they were to join the NAIA as well then there would be a natural rivalry there. But the Sun probably wouldn't consider them as such a geographical outlier.
