RE: Confirmed and Speculative D1 Realignment Moves for 2022 On
Updated to reflect Lindenwood coming to the OVC in 2022-23.
So I've got an unfounded theory that the OVC could start sponsoring men's soccer in the 2023-24 season and that CUSA will stop sponsoring men's soccer that year for lack of members. Several other conferences would also be involved. It probably won't go down exactly like this, but I think it's at least plausible.

to move to different conference
moved from different conference
moved from different conference but to move to another different conference
