Also, I don’t think Bill and Mary would ever join the SoCon. They consider themselves far superior academically to the state schools in our conference. They quit the conference because of Western and App joining the conference in the 1970s.

All the scenarios will no doubt start popping up now. The massive change of the CAA landscape (added several schools recently but have lost JMU, Delaware, Richmond, and probably some others to come) means that a regional shift could be in the making. I always thought it would take several conferences to sit down to make it happen, and I never thought that would be realistic. But it feels like the right time for the CAA, OVC, BigSouth, and SOCON to figure out a way to make the proper footprint and mix of schools (size, public vs private, etc.).
I am actually one of maybe the few that likes the make-up of the SOCON, with the only changes I would really like to see are expansion. But this and the other talk of the G5 having their own championship could very well mean armageddon and massive changes to the make-up of FCS as we know it.

I can’t see the SoCon adding any schools. The SoCon is conservative about other schools joining. Also the private schools in the conference will only vote to add other private schools. They do not want any more larger public’s, so Western is stuck unless we want to leave the SoCon and that is not going to happen. I wish reality were different but it is not.
