The travel costs of these new/revamped conferences will be astounding.

...not really. 9 of the 11 teams are from CUSA.

Just add in Temple, UCONN and Navy.

ECU is closer to these 3 non CUSA schools than they were to So Miss who was in the same division with them in CUSA.

Tulsa to ECU is a long distance.

Its expected that they will be in different divisions.

Its not much different for NIU going to UMASS.

Not as silly as Nebraska going to Maryland for a conference game.

The FBS football teams currently in the Big East have renamed their conference to the American Athletic Conference aka AAC...not to be confused with the AAC aka the Appalachian Athletic Conference.

I would have liked to see Tulsa join the MAC. Then I could make a stop in Oklahoma when I travel to see relatives in the Southwest.
