Reasons Reallignment and teams moving from FCS to FBS is over !!
The bottom line to these given rules now put a cap on the all the change.

Check out this discussion: csnbbs.com/thread-772302.html

1. You can have a CCG with less than 12 members.
2. Each G-5 conference gets 10 million per conference from the CFP not 1 million per school
3. The 10 Conference agreement revenue distribution in place for another 10 years

This Translates to the following:

1. Any FCS school that did not move from FCS to FBS by now will have no chance of moving up. (Coastal Carolina got the lucky last spot)

2. G-5 conferences will not replace schools if raided unless their number falls below 10 schools

3. Realignment is basically over. The most that could happen is the Big 12 invite 2 teams and thats where it would stop.

4. There would be no support from the P-5 and G-5 conferences to vote to add an 11th FBS Conference to split revenue further , even in the next agreement 10 years from now.

So there will be no splitting of conferences, trading teams, forming a new conferences it simply is not going to happen period...

All those teams in C-usa that moved from FCS to FBS be glad you did because that window is shut now.

I agree that team jumping up to FBS is over for a while now with these new rules. However this does not account for any major shake up in TV money landscape. The biggest domino that could change everything in a heartbeat is the Longhorn Network going belly up. Also there is the possibility that UT football could go independent. If they start winning big again that is a distinct possibility. They could play a SEC school, Big 10 a PAC 12 school, and an ACC school every year. Then they could fit Texas A&M and we know they are committed to continuing Texas vs OU rivalry. A schedule like that maintains their national brand and makes the Longhorn network a slightly more attractive buy outside the Big 12 region.
