This conference realignment shit has to stop. Conference USA and the Mountain West have agreed to merge and become a 22 team conference. No, I'm not fucking joking.
Seriously....STOP
Seriously....STOP

Sources tell me that this is how the new 22 team league will determine a champion

C-USA and Mountain West teams have a tradition?
Honestly though, is there that much of a tradition among those schools on the outside of the AQ scheme that it doesn't make sense for them to realign in a way that may make their programs viable in the long-term? This isn't the old Big 8 and SWC rivalries getting torn apart, this is programs that have been left out in the cold for years trying to do something to get into the big show.I got no problem with it, but don't think a 22 team league can survive forever. It will split up soon. I could see this leading to a viable 6th AQ conference with the addition of some of the Big East teams and canibalize some of the other non-AQ schools. A conference with the likes of Boise St., Houston, SMU, Tulsa, UNLV, Southern Miss, along with the leftovers from the Big East would have a compelling case for an AQ.
