Here's yet another conference realignment update, from the MAC to WAC and more

Good morning, and thanks for your continued support of Extra Points.

I have a few quick notes I'd like to share with you real fast.

I have about 15 copies available of my college football What If book that I'm happy to sign and send out. I'll give a free signed copy to anybody who upgrades to the super deluxe paid membership tier this month. I will also sell a limited run of signed copies. These go for $18 (that includes shipping). If you'd like a signed copy, please email me or Twitter DM with your address.

I am also temporarily out of stock of Extra Points stickers, but I should have a new shipment in by next Monday. New subscribers still get two free stickers, but it'll be a few days before I can send out my next shipment. Thanks for your patience!

Enough of the commercials. Let's talk a bit about the latest conference realignment developments.

Could Conference USA actually be done for a little while?

Last week, Conference USA made it official, announcing the new additions of New Mexico State, Jacksonville State, Sam Houston, and Liberty. Three of those four schools are in the preseason top 150 on KenPom, and with Louisiana Tech (88) and UTEP (154), you can squint and see the foundation of a pretty decent mid-major men's basketball league. Let's just, uh, ignore FIU for a second.

As of Sunday evening, Conference USA now has nine full members. The four new additions, UTEP, Louisiana Tech, FIU...and Middle Tennessee State and Western Kentucky. With nine teams, the league is comfortably over the eight-team minimum, and could hypothetically allow for every team to play each other, while still scheduling four (potentially lucrative) out-of-conference games in football.

But that, of course, assumes WKU and MTSU remain in the league. Both are being heavily courted by the MAC. So what's going to happen?
