I'd like some opinions from someone...I nearly have everything worked out...
ACC back to 9 teams(sending BC, VT and Miami back to the Big East)
Big East-BC, Syracuse, VT, WVU, Miami, Rutgers, Temple, Pitt
Big 10-Back to 10, minus Penn State
Big 8-Same as before it expanded to 12
CUSA-ECU, Louisville, USM, Memphis, Cincy, Tulsa, Tulane (I wanted Tulsa back into the 16 team WAC, but as you'll see soon, it's too big, and I wanted to make the minimum teams in CUSA)
MAC-Take out Temple and Buffalo, and put back Marshall
MWC-Turns into SWC when it had 9-Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, Houston, Rice, SMU, Arkansas
PAC 10-Same as before it went to 12
SEC-Back to 10 before Arkansas and South Carolina joined
So the WAC...I have gotten it down from 19 to 17(La Tech Independent and Tulsa to CUSA)
BYU, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado State, Texas El Paso, San Diego State, Hawaii, Air Force, Fresno State, UNLV, Nevada, Boise State, Idaho, New Mexico State, Utah State, San Jose State
Who do I get rid of? They all seem like they should stay, but I have to get rid of 1
Independents: Notre Dame, South Carolina, Army, Navy, Louisiana Tech, Penn State, Buffalo, USF, UAB, UCF, UConn
BYU was tempting to be the chosen one because they're going Independent now, but it would be weird without them. Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State have the least connection to the conference since they're the newest, but they all joined at once, it's hard to single one out. Boise State almost seemed like the biggest outcast of the 17 to me, may be weird to have them be Independent though. San Jose State I guess is the leading candidate, but upon looking up the timeline of the WAC, they'll be the longest tenured member next year when Fresno, Nevada and Hawaii leave as they'll be the only school who has been there since before 2001, so it seems odd to kick them out. Hawaii because they're the geographic outlier? I've just got nothing here-any ideas would be appreciated
