Columbia/Fordham
Monmouth
Villanova
Georgetown
James Madison
Liberty
William & Mary
Eastern Kentucky
Chattanooga
Gardner Webb
Presbyterian
Coastal Carolina
Charleston So.
Kennesaw St.
Bethune Cookman
Florida Gulf Coast

Though... it really wouldn't be the BSC anymore. It's more of an ACC ultra-lite. We've got the ACC and the AAC so I'm thinking (ACAC) Atlantic Colonial Athletic Conference, American Continental Athletic Conference, American Colonial Athletic Conference, or Atlantic Continental Athletic Conference.
In my dream world we'd start a new 1-A conference with JMU, Mo State, EKU, Coastal, JAX State, UT-Chattanooga, UMASS and UAB just to irritate alot of the ultra-liberal whacko Sun Belt posters that don't like us and apparently the communities that house their schools.

I'd take Nova too good football and they'd really help us with basketball.

I don't think an FCS conference can host a conference championship in football and still have the schools in the championship game to make playoffs. I believe it is not allowed due to a rule banning schools from participating in the FCS playoffs and other postseason games.

Those are solid schools for fantasy purposes but fantasy is all it is.

03-lmfao At this point fantasy is all we have to hold onto.03-lmfao

If Liberty were to be in a non-P5 conference based on regional proximity, correct me if I'm wrong, but it'd look like...

Liberty
ODU
James Madison
Marshall
Navy
ECU
Appalachian St.
Charlotte
Cincinnati
Ohio
Western Kentucky
Eastern Kentucky
Middle Tennessee
Georgia St.

The farthest drive would be 7.5 hrs. Granted, there aren't too many destination vacation type places, and it's not a very exciting looking group, but it's close.
