Maybe I'm just confused about what you're saying. Summit League doesn't sponsor football, so you wouldn't be adding SHU and Merrimack as FB affiliates.

I think the CAA Football splitting up and adding SHU and Merrimack is more likely. That'd be 17 total football-playing teams. Split it into 8 and 9-team conferences.
