Request For: College Basketball
Request Title: CBEL Realignment
Description
Preparing for my game today against IP Ft Wayne, I discovered that this school no longer exists. It has actually divided into two schools, and the school is no longer in the Summit League ... it is now Purdue-Fort Wayne, in the Horizon. In its place, the Summit league now has Kansas City and St Thomas. It's probably about time to go through and update all of the conferences. It's been a while.

Dave Ayres (Jan 4 17:38:03 2023 ): Yep, I already requested dropping CUSA to Tier 2 some time ago!
Patrick Creaven (Apr 18 00:27:33 2023 ): There are so many examples, but no UC San Diego or Cal State Bakersfield in the Big West are a couple that stand out to me.
Coach Rusty Edwards (Jul 24 08:11:08 2023 ): Good idea
Loren Smith (Jul 28 11:47:23 2023 ): Looks like this did not happen for season init on 28 July 2023. Maybe next season?
