I actually like the addition of Temple. They should cut DePaul, however, to get back to 16 basketball teams.

I'm not much of a fan. They don't really have that big of a fanbase to draw from. Their football team has clearly improved since last time they were here though which is at least good but they don't really add much.

Honestly there isn't a single team in the Sun Belt who really should be at the FBS level.

Well, the WAC all but no longer exists as a conference.
In other realignment news:
Utah State and San Jose State are going to the MWC.
Texas State is going to the Sun Belt.
North Texas, UT-San Antonio, La Tech, FIU, Charlotte, and Old Dominion (the last two moving up in a couple of years) will all be moving to C-USA.

Rumors are starting to pickup that FSU and Clemson could be Big 12 Bound. Supposedly FSU would have Texas as a cross division rival.

C-USA should have brought Arkansas State or La-Lafayette instead of North Texas.

Those rumors have been there out there but I just don't see it happening. I still think the Big 12 expands back to twelve first with Louisville and Cincinnati.

I really don't understand why FSU and Clemson would do that.

Not saying that they aren't floating around, but that makes no effing sense.
Then, again, I still think that SDSU and BSU in the Big East makes no effing sense.

Possibly, but it can't be that much more. Plus, the Big 12 doesn't share monies.
It just doesn't make sense. There seems to be a clear hierarchy of conferences (in terms of desirability to join, not performance):
Big Ten-SEC-Pac 12
ACC-Big 12
Big East
Mountain West-Conference USA
MAC
Sun Belt
WAC (RIP)
I'm not sure why you disrupt historical rivalries and geographic fit to join an, at best, equal conference. Moving to the SEC I would understand.
