Looks like BSU/BGSU is off.

No, I think The Warthog Plan selects the best parts of both.

What if Rick Chryst was still Commissioner?

Yes, take the top teams, let the others form the Sunbelt II.

I will be the commissioner, so all is well.

so who goes in the Mid-American Conference USA and who goes in Sunbet II

i was going to make my own suggestions, until i realized that C-USA is barely recognizable post-exodus for the Big East.

Once my friends and I got bored and decided to realign the NFL based on nicknames....we could give bg a differnent conference, maybe even one with a decent commish, by doing the same. i propose we have in the

Big Bird Conference:
Boston College
Bowling Green
Eastern Michigan
Iowa
Kansas
Kent St.
Louisville
Miami U.
Oregon
South Carolina
Southern Miss
Temple

some decent draws and some easy punching bags (i would hope)...nice moderation for us

yeah if we were talking joining the old CUSA that would be great, new CUSA sucks.

Since were talking about combining the two, heres how i would split it

Mid-American Conference USA: BG, Toledo, Northern Illinois, Akron, Ohio, Miami, Memphis, UAB, Rice, Southern Miss, Houston, and Tulane. Now that wouldn't be a bad confernce. Throw the rest of the losers in the Sunbelt II

Once again the MAC getting whooped on like the red headed step child....

Then BG would be forced to give up home OOC games whenever Memphis screwed up their schedule.

I know it would probably never happen, but I would like to see aconference with:
BGSU, toledo, Akron, Kent, Cincinnati, Miami OH, & Ohio Univ. Throw in another 3 close schools like Marshall, Pitt, Northern Ill, Ball State... Who are some other possibilities? Maybe the Michigan Schools? Keep it close and regional. Many of these schools already have natural rivalries. i especially like all the Ohio schools in one conference.

Pitt, and to a lesser degree, Cincinnati, are on an entirely different financial and operational plane than the athletic programs other schools you've mentioned. Directional Michigan would make more sense.

If UC was still in CUSA that would be more realistic

I posted this in the other thread, but I'd take the 6 current MAC Ohio schools plus Ball State, Buffalo, and Youngstown State (have them move up to IA in FB).

F the Michigan schools - they can add NMU, Ferris State, Lake Superior and NDSU and form their own conference
