The South has the Sun Belt....The West has the WAC and Mountain West....The Mid-West has the MAC....Middle America, in general, has Conference USA. So why not a mid-major FBS conference based in the Northeast?

The conference could be put together by mixing some eastern based FBS progams and getting a handful of FCS schools to move up. Figuring the southeast schools could've joined the Sun Belt already, I'm focusing more on the Northeast.

Any chance of this happening any time in the next decade?


My top picks would be:

Buffalo
Temple
Villanova
Hofstra
Delaware
Army
Navy
Massachussets
Appalachian State

Others worthy of consideration:

New Hampshire
Richmond
Rhode Island
Maine
James Madison
William & Mary
Marshall
