RE: Ideal FCS realignment
To start bring all the HBCU’s together under one umbrella conference
Split into three divisions:
Atlantic: Del State, Hampton, Howard, Morgan, Norfolk, NC AT, NC Central
Southwest: Bama AM, Bama State, B-C, Fla AM, Miss Valley, SC State, Tenn State
Southeast: Alcorn, Pine Bluff, Grambling, Jackson St, PVAMU, Southern, Texas Sthn
Three champs plus best other play in semi and winners play in Celebration Bowl.
Next assume ASUN-WAC stay at FCS and join them with Big Sky, CAA & MVFL
upper tier playoff
After Hampton & NC AT are gone we have:
CAA 13 Big Sky 12 MVFL 12 ASUN_WAC 10 (with UTRGV)
Move Campbell or Elon to ASUN-WAC or both and switch EKU to CAA, you could also juggle others like Utah Tech/SUU and NAU/UNC but not essential.
Finally add SEMO to ASUN-WAC and you get 4 conferences of 12 teams
Champions get 1st Round bye, next 8 seeded for 12 team playoff (or a simple 16/24 team playoff)
Then for lower tier play off:
NEC (8), OVC (8) (minus TSU & SEMO), Patriot (7), SoCon (9), Southland (8)
Move VMI to Patriot for 5 conferences of 8 plus Pioneer (11)
5 champions get 1st Round bye, Pioneer champion plus next 5 seeded for 11 team playoff (or a simple 16/24 team playoff)
Ivy stays outside post season
