Priority: Long Term
Admin Notes The tradition is for CBEL realignment during the first offseason after the real-life season ends. That said, given the sweeping realignment, we'll consider getting that done earlier this year.
.
Aside from the fact that Texas A&M Commerce was renamed to East Texas A&M, I think the list above is correct. Here is the proposed final list of moves:
C Florida: American Athletic -> Big Twelve
Cincinnati: American Athletic -> Big Twelve
Houston: American Athletic -> Big Twelve
S Methodist: American Athletic -> Atlantic Coast
Jacksnvlle St: Atlantic Sun -> Conference USA
Liberty: Atlantic Sun -> Conference USA
Kennesaw: Atlantic Sun -> Conference USA
Campbell: Big South -> Colonial Athletic
Oklahoma: Big Twelve -> Southeastern
Texas: Big Twelve -> Southeastern
AL Birmingham: Conference USA -> American Athletic
FL Atlantic: Conference USA -> American Athletic
N Texas: Conference USA -> American Athletic
NC Charlotte: Conference USA -> American Athletic
Rice: Conference USA -> American Athletic
TX San Antnio: Conference USA -> American Athletic
Merrimack: Northeast -> Metro Atlantic Ath
Sacred Heart: Northeast -> Metro Atlantic Ath
W Illinois: Summit League -> Ohio Valley
Brighm Young : West Coast -> Big Twelve
Chicago St: Western Athletic -> Northeast
New Mexico St: Western Athletic -> Conference USA
Sam Houston: Western Athletic -> Conference USA
Stephen Austn: Western Athletic -> Southland
TX Rio Grande: Western Athletic -> Southland
.
Next is the Pacific Twelve, all of whose teams are moved and the conference will be deleted:
Arizona: Pacific Twelve -> Big Twelve
Arizona St: Pacific Twelve -> Big Twelve
California: Pacific Twelve -> Atlantic Coast
Colorado: Pacific Twelve -> Big Twelve
Oregon: Pacific Twelve -> Big Ten
Oregon St: Pacific Twelve -> West Coast
Southern Cal: Pacific Twelve -> Big Ten
Stanford: Pacific Twelve -> Atlantic Coast
UCLA: Pacific Twelve -> Big Ten
Utah: Pacific Twelve -> Big Twelve
Washington: Pacific Twelve -> Big Ten
Washington St: Pacific Twelve -> West Coast
.
Next is the list of new teams and the deleted teams that will be used to start them:
Hartford: America East -> Northeast, rename to Mercyhurst
W Georgia: new team -> Atlantic Sun
St Francis NY (Northeast): rename to Le Moyne (no conference move needed)
.
Other suggested renamings:
Detroit (Horizon League) -> Detroit Mercy
IN Purdue (Horizon League) -> IU Indy
TAMU Commerce (Southland) -> E Texas AM
LA Lafayette (Sun Belt) -> Louisiana
.
No conference tier changes are noted at this point.
