If you took one team from every conference
If you could make your own conference but had to take one team from every 1A conference, plus an Indy, plus a 1AA including your favorite team, what would it look like? Why?
LOUISVILLE
Kentucky............SEC.........Biggest rival!
Michigan.............Big 10......Biggest tradition! I almost took Indiana for proximity.
West Virginia.......Big East...Growing rivalry. I wanted to take UC though.
Va. Tech.............ACC........They are closer. Could have gone with FSU or Miami for a nice trip.
Texas A&M..........Big 12.....I love the 12th man tradition
Memphis.............C-USA.....Long time rival. Sorry S. Miss. There's more in Memphis than Hattisburgh
UCLA..................Pac 10....I wanted to see the glamor and lights. Almost took Oregon
TCU....................MWC......How can you not want to play a Horned Frog?
Hawaii.................WAC......Nice vacation spot
Miami (OH)..........MAC.......Close to home.
Florida Atl. .........Sun Belt..Needed a sunshine state team, aaaah Miami!
Notre Dame........Indy.......I hate the Shamers but they were the best indy.
EKU....................1AA........Close to home. Could have gone with WKU also.

I'm not sure Louisville's budget could handle the travel expenses.

cusa- so miss
mwc- utah
wac- fresno st

sbc- arkansas st
indy- temple
1-AA- western kentucky

I added a 1-AAA level for basketball. it's an ok football conference with wisconsin, ucla, louisville at the top...ga tech, fresno st, utah in the next tier, and kansas, so miss, memphis, and ole miss just below them. in basketball, this would be a very good conference. KU, ga tech, memphis, wisconsin, gonzaga and lousville fighting it out every year with utah, w. kentucky, temple, and fresno st making a run every few years.
plus we get three rivalry games with so miss, ole miss, and louisville.
