It's that time of year when schools change conferences, in search of greener pastures and higher profits, seeking more favorable opponents and more national exposure. This has led to the dissolution of traditions forged by history and the creation of conferences that exceed the size of their professional counterparts and in no way, shape, or form, represent the geographic proximity and cultural similarities that led to their naming convention. Here are my predictions for the future roller coaster ride of conference realignment.
The Catholic Seven (minus Notre Dame, so the Catholic Six) will form their own basketball conference or super-villain headquarters.
All the Texas schools and all the Oklahoma schools will leave their conferences and form the Cotton Bowl conference.
The Big 10 will stop underestimating the math skills of its target demographic and rename itself the Best of the Midwest conference.
Conference USA will dissolve and reform as Conference America with the exact same members. The only difference is that this conference will have ties to Six Flags and other local water parks.
Memphis, Towson, Auburn, LSU, Missouri, and Clemson will all form a minor Tiger conference, with the potential to add Villanova, Kentucky, and Arizona institutions as an all cats conference.
Bowling Green will go independent and then back to the Mid-American conference. No one will notice.
The remaining members of the SEC will replace the current members of the NFC East and start a dynasty of Super Bowl teams.
