Another Realignment Article

[shaft]

Here's a story from something called Saturday Blitz.  https://saturdayblitz.com/2021/10/11/aac-football-realignment-mapping-out-new-conference/

It has no sources, and here is their CUSA proposal of: 

"SMU, Louisiana, UTSA, and Louisiana Tech would headline the new-look Conference-USA. ... Other teams that would comprise C-USA would be UTEP, North Texas, Rice, Tulsa, UL-Monroe, Texas State, and basketball only UT–Arlington."

This looks like baseless speculation.   Why a 10 team football division?  Why wouldn't Tulane want to be in a division with RICE, SMU and TULSA?   Why would a division include UTA for basketball and not also include WITCHITA STATE?

This is regional G5 wishcasting. SMU would sooner drop football than be in the same conference as ULM.

To be fair, no one should want to be matched with UL-Monroe.  They need to get the NMSU treatment and get booted from D1.

The bottom line appears to be this : 1] The Big 12 is not thru expanding but is going to take a time out to digest their 4 new members while discharging Texas and Oklahoma. 2] The MWC in not doing  anything  until the Big 12 makes its move or until hell freezes over 3] Both the SBC and CUSA are hunkered down in their respective bunkers awaiting a preemptive strike by the AAC. 4] The MAC is wondering what the fuss is all about.
