Taking stock of FBS/FCS moves that have happened

[TheBisonator]

I just wanted to see if I have everything correct here regarding all the moves to new conferences in Division I that have happened in the past year. I may be wrong on some of these, and I may be missing some of these, please correct me if I made a mistake.

I'm focusing on football only. I won't mention schools that have started football programs, only schools whose FB programs switched.

Nebraska to the Big Ten
Colorado to the Pac 10(12)
Utah to the Pac 10(12)
Boise State to the Mountain West
Fresno State to the Mountain West (not sure of this?)
Nevada to the Mountain West (not sure of this?)
Hawaii did something, I dunno what they did
Texas A&M to the SEC (pending)
TCU to the Big East
BYU becoming Independent
Texas State to the WAC
UMass to the MAC
South Dakota to the MVFC
North Dakota to the Big Sky
Southern Utah to the Big Sky
UC Davis to the Big Sky
Cal Poly to the Big Sky
Rhode Island to the NEC
Savannah State to the MEAC



Is this all we have so far, or is there more??

Any input would be appreciated.

Fresno State and Nevada join the MWC in 2012. Hawaii will join in '12 as a football only member.

Also Texas St joins the WAC in 2012. (UT-San Antonio also joins the WAC but they're a start up)

Since this is mostly a non FCS topic, can we move it to the correct place:

Forbidden activity on the FCS Discussion board:

+ Non-FCS football talk - the posts or thread will be moved to the Lounge/Other Sports board

Jeez, really. Next you'll tell us corporations are people.

I'm very glad to see the SEC stay put with their current constituency of schools. It seems asinine to me why a conference would want more than 12 teams. Maybe its just the purist in me but if you've got 14 or more teams you're basically two separate conferences already with a loose scheduling alliance and championship game with the teams in the other division.

That's exactly what people said when the SEC went to 12 teams with 2 divisions.

Now it's the standard.

ODU (year 3) moving from independent into the CAA where the rest of their sports are. Does that technically count?

[appfan2008]

quite a few changes in the last year or so but i think this may only be the tip of the ice berg... i bet in 4 years we wont recognize the landscape from 5 years previous...

Hey! :p No Political talk in the FCS discussions! xlolx

Jeez, really. Next you'll tell us corporations are people.

If corporations are people and corporations can own corporations, isn't that a form of slavery?

i'm old school. If you haven't played everybody in your conference, then you haven't truly won a conference championshp.

When they were only 10 they did not play everybody in there conference.

Yes it is. But no more than forcing a government upon a man he does not want and does not enjoy his consent is.
