If the WAC brought back football and had a east/west division would that work? West division could try and get Texas teams from C-USA/Sun Belt along with UTRGV if they add football. FCS teams wanting to move up in the west would have a football home. East division could be independent’s liberty, umass, Old Dominion wants out of c-usa. FCS teams like James Madison, delaware and Jacksonville State who have showed interest in moving up could fill eastern division. Have few cross division games to save on travel and more OOC money games.

I wouldnt be surprised if texas teams look for a new home in next round of realignment. A lot of eastern teams in C-USA dont like the travel to texas. The eastern teams in c-usa want to be more regional.

heard next realignment would happen around 2022 or 2023. I think thats when Big 12 TV contract is up. Im a fan of Jacksonville St. Talking to some friends and we were talking about D1 options. Sun Belt seems to be full. I read some where that new FBS conferences cant be started, but if a conference previously sponsored football they can bring it back. That means WAC and Big West. Thats why i threw out the first scenario. What do you see in NMSU future?

A few years as an independent in football. Always hopeful to get all sports into one conference. Especially one not named WAC and its current leadership. However if NMSU is still independent in 2024 you might see FCS seriously considered. Really need attendance, donations and revenue to go up. Help all aspects of athletics.
