So using my mathematical skills that would be 12 Football Teams and 12 Basketball Teams.
The SEC has 14 teams that play football and basketball. How exactly does that make the Sun Belt the first Super Conference? Even the MAC has more teams at 13.
both humor and ground breaking moves are completely lost on/by you. this is the first rock rolling down the hill( one of the first two if you want to have a hissy fit about it ) that will start the avalanche combined with the SEC etc. This is just the beginning.Quote:

Marshall AD insinuates WKU to CUSA a done deal...

"We haven't been spending much more," Hamrick said. "In football, we bus to non-conference games. We've been flying to four away games. In the MAC you had Western Michigan, Central Michigan, Northern Illinois. Now [in C-USA] we're adding Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee and, in 2015, Charlotte."
Any truth to the rumour that the former BIG EAST will adopt the name AMERICA 12? I saw this on another website talking about realignment but it was the first I have heard of it.
I heard something similar as well. No idea how much truth is in it though but it was basically talked about shortly after it was announced that the Catholic Big East teams are going to be keeping the Big East conference naming rights, leaving the football side of things scrambling to come up with something different.Quote:

Seems like a DUMB move for :Western_Kentucky: They won't be able to compete in football or in basketball where they fairly regularly made the NCAA tourny although I guess they could just be happy receiving :Memphis: basketball money?Quote:

Yeah I give up trying to keep up with all of this crap then. Never even heard of "Conference America East" I presume that is the "old" Big East?Quote:

This is the site that does a good job of keeping track of it.Quote:
