The best merger outcome would be

[jay2000]

AAC: 14

ECU
UCF
USF
Temple
Cincy
Memphis
UAB
----------
USM
Tech
Tulane
SMU
Houston
Tulsa
Wichita/Navy


CUSA: 14

FIU
FAU
Marshall
ODU
WKU
MTSU
Charlotte
App St
GA South
GA State
Troy
South Alabama
James Madison
Coastal Carolina


SunBelt: 9

UNT
Rice
UTSA
UTEP
ULL
Ark St
UALR
ULM
Texas State

I'm sure UNT, UTEP, Rice, and UTSA would go begging the MWC at this point.

How much better would travel be in the AAC if they added Tech/USM/UAB? 14 teams would make for less cross-divisional games.
