I thought the next edition would be next week when the AAC expanded with the MW duo but, alas, it was not meant to be.
Therefore, the Mountain West becomes the de-facto #6 conference. With Mark Few retiring soon and the MW gaining stability, Gonzaga decides to bite the bullet and join for Olympic sports.
The MW then proactively expands into Texas adding two schools: Rice and UTSA.
West: SJSU, SDSU, Fresno State, Nevada, Hawaii, UNLV, Boise State
Mountain: USU, Rice, UTSA, AFA, CSU, Wyoming, New Mexico
This means that the AAC, now the #7 conference, needs to beef up. I could see only expanding by two, but getting to only 10 doesn't look good for stability; therefore, they expand by four.
The four selected are UAB, North Texas, Charlotte, and FAU (not the greatest combo but gets the #1 available realistic target left-UAB, a Texas school-UTEP, a Florida school-FAU, and an old C-USA friend-Charlotte).
West: Tulsa, Navy, UTEP, SMU, Tulane, Memphis
East: USF, ECU, Temple, Charlotte, FAU, UAB
For those counting this leaves C-USA with just 8 schools.
The Sun Belt then gains pole position over C-USA by adding 4 schools:
Marshall, Southern Miss, Old Dominion, and North Texas
West: North Texas, Texas State, USM, Ark State, USA, UL Monroe, Louisiana
East: ODU, Marshall, CCU, App State, Troy, Georgia St, Georgia Southern
The MAC then decides to add two of the four remaining C-USA programs: MTSU and WKU
West: MTSU, WKU, NIU, Ball State, EMU, WMU, CMU
East: Toledo, Buffalo, Bowling Green, Akron, Kent State, Miami, Ohio
C-USA is now down to two schools: FIU and LaTech. The conference dissolves.
The remaining independents are Notre Dame, Army, UConn, UMass, Liberty, NMSU, FIU, LaTech.
