If Bud Selig has his way, leaders from schools in the Sun Belt, Conference USA and American Athletic Conference will meet with an outside consultant and hammer out a restructuring that realigns the three leagues by region. That’s a scenario James Madison officials would no doubt applaud, as the out-of-whack geography of the FBS conferences has played a role in the Dukes previous decisions to remain FCS.
“You have to ask yourself why do three Group of 5 conferences have three almost identical footprints,” Selig said in an interview with the Daily News-Record. “You don’t see that among the Power 5.”

So here’s a fun idea for what a Conference USA/Sun belt hybrid might look like:
North
Appalachian State
Liberty
Marshall
Middle Tennessee State
Old Dominion
Western Kentucky
South
Charlotte
Coastal Carolina
FAU
FIU
Georgia Southern
Georgia State
Texas and Friends
Arkansas State
New Mexico State
North Texas
Rice
Texas State
UTSA
UTEP
Central
Louisiana-Lafayette
Louisiana-Monroe
Louisiana Tech
South Alabama
Southern Miss
Troy
UAB
