RE: SI.COM: CUSA to Request AAC to Reorganization into two conferences
I still think Memphis and South Florida will end up in the XII. That leaves 30 (assuming Navy/Wichita St count as 1 school). I still see Navy going independent and the MWC picking up Rice, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa, and Wichita St. That brings the number down to 25. At this point, perhaps East Carolina and Temple choose football independence with non-football parked in the A-10 bringing the number down to 23. Now add New Mexico St for 24 and split into 2 regional conferences.
CUSA
North: Charlotte, Georgia St, Marshall, Middle Tennessee St, Old Dominion, Western Kentucky
South: Appalachian St, Coastal Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Georgia Southern, Troy
SBC
East: Arkansas St, South Alabama, Southern Miss, UAB, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe
West: Louisiana Tech, New Mexico St, North Texas, Texas St, UTEP, UTSA
