If they get to be in an eastern based football league with GA Southern, Marshall, and Charlotte I don't know what's so funny about it.

Yeah, if I were to guess to the membership of the conference:

Liberty
ODU
Charlotte
Marshall
WKU
MTSU
UAB
App St
Georgia State
Georgia Southern
CCU
JMU

Here is my reasoning for including these schools:
1) I think Liberty is driving the bus on this so they're in duh.

2) C-USA East would obviously be interested. I didn't include FIU or FAU because if they're included with the rest of C-USA East then they would have 7 members that have been together 8 years so why wouldn't they just skip the ASUN nonsense. (and yes I know that apparently "continuity" is not the same anymore but I'm trying to use the logic the ASUN is using). I included UAB because I think they have more in common with the above schools than the remaining C-USA schools.

3) Sunbelt East. Didn't include USA/Troy because I'm not certain if they would fit in with this conference.

4) JMU because unless the ASUN 7+ adds more members past UNA/Bellarmine then to get to 20 UAC needs 12 members. JMU seems like a good fit.

JMU and CCU could be replaced with other schools but in my mind this is my best bet.

I could see a lot of schools being interested in this makeup.

Right track, wrong ballpark....

The C-USA members that will move will be part of a 20 school conference. The 10 from the ASUN plus the new 10 members from C-USA and maybe the Sun Belt.

The UAC (United Athletic Conference) will be a football only conference in FCS for those schools that dont play FBS football (UNA, KSU, Stetson, and any other member that wants to start football) those schools will also have a home in FBS if they choose to play FBS football in the future.

The remaining C-USA and Sun Belt schools will merge.
