I told you they'd find a home...the SBC is in fact, the first Super Conference and the Big will follow and so on and so it goes from here on in

Troy
Western Kentucky
Arkansas at Little Rock (Basketball Only)
Arkansas State
Louisiana Lafayette
Louisiana Monroe
Georgia State
Texas State
University of Texas at Arlington (Basketball Only)
Georgia Southern
Appalachian State
Idaho (Football Only)
New Mexico State (Football Only)
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.
Thats all there is to it.
edit- ultimately I mean to say, just stop with the over analyzation dude ,sheesh

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.

With WKU to C-USA, James Madison & Liberty leading Sun Belt candidates source told @espn
Ahem, get in line.And I'll take Appalachian State if it happens
Last I heard, it was one of several names being discussed but it would not be fair to say, at least at the time, that it was the leading candidate.

Nice! Since Tiburon seems pretty uninterested and/or opposed to bringing back FCS TEAMS (as you all know, this is now my #1 request...) I guess I will have to wait until JMU joins the FBS.
It's official for Tulsa & Western Kentucky.
Seems like a DUMB move forThey 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
basketball money?
Memphis is now in Conference America East...Seems like a DUMB move for
We need a road map just for basketball alone with the Catholic 7+3.
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?
That's not the official name... just what I call it since it's a rehash of Conference USA and now the "old" Big East.
Does anyone have a link to the new conferences as they will be in 2013 and 2014? Honestly there have been so many changes that I can't even recall the half of them.
This is the site that does a good job of keeping track of it.

Great link. Thanks!
And we have a new name. The Big East is now the American Athletic Conference.
