I just posted a reply in that thread. I'll also post it here since it details the protected rivalries I set for C-USA, in case anyone was wondering.

Well, I had already advanced to Week 1 in the Tulsa dynasty, but I saved that one, backed out and created a new one. I tried swapping teams around instead of add/remove, but it still didn't work. If I don't turn on protected rivals, C-USA will automatically default to a 9 game conference schedule every time I make any sort of move with teams, regardless of how I move them.

It's fine though now, I've figured out some protected rivals. Gonna keep FIU and North Texas together since they came over from the Sun Belt. After getting souljahbill's input, Southern Miss and Tulane are protected rivals.

For the rest, after looking back over the years, Tulsa is 2-3 against East Carolina (closest record for Tulsa against ECU (2-3), LA Tech (1-2), Marshall (3-0) and UAB (3-0), so I made Tulsa and East Carolina protected rivals, plus that way I get to play at East Carolina's stadium every other year. Also by virtue of head-to-head records, I paired LA Tech and Rice together, as well as Marshall and UTEP. UAB ended up the lone man out and got stuck with UTSA.

It's not perfect, but I'm happy with it all things considered.
