With all of the threads holding realignment opinions, it would be great if this one was reserved for news and comments from conferences and schools.

That was my intent/hope that only Officially confirmed moves would be posted here, no speculation.

The 2025 date for Texas and Oklahoma is confirmed, but not likely.

That is the official CURRENT date. If it changes, I would update the first post

I know "Independent" is not a Conference, but BYU's exiting from the "Independent" pool most certainly will have an effect on the other Independent schools out there. The Independents were already having trouble scheduling late season games (due to other schools being in the midst of Conference play) and, especially with the Independent ranks growing with uConn, there was a lot of discussion of how the Independents could possibly help themselves by scheduling each other in late October and November.

BYU's leaving for the B12...especially with the prospect of 9 conference games...pretty much drops any independent match-ups off the table. And if Liberty ends up in either the AAC or another conference...

Could you add the WAC to the other moves section?

Independence is getting more complicated for schools. The squeezing of conferences will reduce the numbers.

Might need a question mark followed by the eye roll emoji after each of those exit dates

Great thread. It nice to speculate on some thread, but one for confirmation is really nice.

Man I have a lot of work to do on the wiki D-I map. I'm gonna at least wait until after the AAC moves.

I stand by my opinion that the Wikipedia map should be based on the current conference lineups. Updating it to include all announced future moves seems to run afoul of Wikipedia policies, since it reflects a situation that will almost certainly never exist exactly as depicted.

You may have it go the other way where I don't do it for a long time and fall behind.

I just checked and yeah, it is behind. It doesn't have any of the WAC and ASun changes that happened this year.

It was done when teams were announced before I started. That guy quit I knew a guy TK from another realignment board that had me give him all the updates as they were announced because he didn't want to keep doing it. He quit and sent it to me to do for the last what 8 yrs I'm not even sure. w/ the tourney bids wiki we wait until they're in but have an announcement of the future moves at the top of the page. Also a pain in the ass to take out the schools bids from that conf. and add them to the new one when they move.

Rather than complain, I just want to say thank you for doing all the work to update wiki for all the moves

I thought for sure I was gonna quit doing the tourney bids last year but somehow got sucked back in. I really don't like it. I think I'm ocd. It was probably just luck that Ink found it that 1 time I was actually ahead. If it's 1 or 2 schools moving that's easier where I get on it faster. Right now I don't even wanna look at all the stuff I have to erase, change colors. Or if someone moves to D-I and I have to fit them in a cluster of schools, FML. Or the note I got on the D-II map that a school closed in 2017 and I still had them on the map.

I try to keep my involvement on the college sports side of Wikipedia to a minimum. There are so many things that need to be fixed but would take a lot of time.

That side, I just uploaded a current version of that map.
